St Columba's Primary School, Kilrea

Catholic Schools Week; Year 4-7 Mass

22nd Jan 2026


This week we are celebrating Catholic Schools Week in St. Columba’s. Our theme this year is ‘Catholic Schools - Normal Lives, Called to Holiness.’

‘Holiness does not mean performing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith.’
~ Pope Francis on Blessed Carlo Acutis

As part of our celebrations, Years 4-7 attended Mass this morning in St. Anne’s Oratory with their grandparents.

Thank you to Fr McDermott for the warm welcome and beautiful mass and to the many grandparents and family members who joined us.

A huge thank you also to Miss Coyle and our school choir whose musical liturgy added greatly to our celebration and to Miss McKiernan for her work in organising this special occasion.
