Congratulations to all the 6th class children who made their Confirmation in St. Mary's Church, Claddagh, last Wednesday, 22nd April (and apologies for the delay posting this!)

The children were excited to meet Galway Utd. professionals Frantz Pierrot, Emma Doherty and Francely Lomboto, who visited the school today. They talked about their careers and training, took questions from the children, and even joined in a keepy-uppy and penalty competition with the kids!
