Children were delighted to welcome a Friar to school on Tuesday as they handed over a cheque from funds they raised themselves.

Staff and pupils invited Fr Billy Hoyne OFM Franciscan Friary to Kilcummin National School and donated €420 which will help their Franciscan Missions. They raised the money by making and selling St Brigid Crosses last month.

“Much thanks must go to all the students and their teachers for this wonderful act of kindness which raised €420 which will help our Franciscan Missions in Zimbabwe, Central America & South Africa,” Fr Billy OFM, who served as a missionary himself, said.

"A special word of thanks also to the children of the Presentation Monastery and the Holy Cross Mercy national schools who also contributed to the overall number of crosses that were made available."
