Today is St. Brigid’s Day, the 1st of February and usually some of our classes would visit the Shrine at Faughart, to mark the occasion. Today instead our virtual classes will have activities related to St Brigid: listening to stories associated with her life, looking at pictures from the Shrine and Faughart Graveyard, making crosses etc. We hope everyone will get involved!
Some events happening today to mark the occasion:
