BEST OF LUCK TO BALLYMUN KICKHAMS THIS SUNDAY IN THE SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL AGAINST BALLYBODEN. EXTRA SPECIAL LUCK TO CARL KEELEY, OUR PAST PUPIL. GO KICKHAMS!!!

      COMMUNION UPDATE
As you all know, Dublin will be changing to level 3 COVID 19 status from midnight tonight. Archbishop Diarmuid Martin has issued a statement to say that there will be no Communions or Confirmations for the next 3 weeks, while we are at level 3.

Obviously this means that our Communion ceremonies scheduled for Sept 25th are cancelled. We acknowledge the huge levels of disappointment and upset that this will cause for both boys and their parents, not to mention expense. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it. We will reschedule the Communions as soon as we possibly can and will keep you updated.

We will ensure that the boys have a great day in school on the 25th and will chat with them on Monday to make some fun plans.

Thank you once again for the huge levels of support and understanding you have shown throughout COVID 19 times.

Best wishes and stay safe
​Aisling Cox and Father Declan
