You might just recognise a face or two as pupils from our local school announce their Student Council for 2026/27! 🎉

A very special mention goes to our past guest, Patryk, as he takes on his new role as Head Boy. We couldn’t think of a better ambassador — a fantastic achievement and one that is thoroughly deserved.

Congratulations to Patryk and all the students elected to represent their peers this year.
We wish you every success in your new roles! 👏💚

Are you wondering if Lourdes is the right experience for your child?

Some of the most common questions parents and guardians ask us are:

❓ Is my child suitable for the pilgrimage?
❓ Who will be responsible for my child during the trip?
❓ How are medical and support needs managed?
❓ How will I know my child is safe while away?
❓ What will my child gain from the experience?

Come along and hear the answers from our volunteers and group leaders at our Information Evening hosted by Groups 67 & 93.

📅 Thursday 8th October
🕖 7.00pm – 8.00pm
📍 Sugarhouse, Newry

There will also be an opportunity to complete application forms on the night and find out more about the Easter 2027 pilgrimage to Lourdes for young people aged 11–19.

💜 Tonight, members of our group paid a special visit to Ballyholland GAC, where they had the privilege of meeting with Miss Ellen Brady’s family and friends.

We were honoured to receive a very generous donation of £2000, raised through the Official Down Camogie Ellen Brady Memorial U10 Tournament, which took place on 8th August.

We cannot thank Ellen’s family, friends, and everyone involved enough for their kindness, generosity, and support. Their decision to give to others in beautiful Ellen’s memory is truly touching and will make a meaningful difference to the young people we will take on Pilgrimage this Easter.

Ellen’s spirit continues to shine brightly. 💜
