Rahan Mucklagh and The Island Parish

Confirmation Day Rahan Parish. Last Sunday the parish welcomed Bishop Michael Smith to confer the Sacrament the Confirmation on 50 young adults of the parish - 6th Class pupils of Rahan & Mucklagh Schools. The ceremony took place at 1pm in Mucklagh Church. A word of thanks to the teachers, family and friends of all our young adults. Congratulations to all of the candidates who will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, the Sacrament of Commitment. Thanks also to those who have prepared Mucklagh Church (inside and out) for this parish event.

Class 6 from St Carthage School, Newtown and St. Colman's Mucklagh had their Confirmation Retreat on 25th April in Newtown. The day and retreat was conducted by the Ceili Retreat Team, Kilbeggan and the Class teachers of Both Schools.

Extension to the Car Parking Area in Scoil Charthaigh Naofa, Rahan. The Board of Management organised this extension & carried out the work over the Easter Holidays. It has alleviated traffic congestion around the school.

We are grateful for the person/persons who planted so many Cherry Trees around our Churches and Presbyteries in the Parish here. Like many other places in Ireland the Cherry Blossoms were at their very best a week ago.
