JPII Fundraising - March 2019
|
On Friday night, 8th March, four of our year 13 JPII students along with Mrs Nolan, joined over 70 young people from across Down and Connor at the Living Youth Building in Belfast in ‘Stay awake for the homeless’ to raise awareness and to fundraise for homelessness Charities. A massive £2,352 was raised overall.
They stayed awake all night(8pm – 6am) and took part in many faith based activities throughout the night including Mass, mediation, prayer and the rosary at the grotto. They listened to speakers from Habitat for Humanity and the welcome centre and some of the young people volunteered at the St Patrick’s soup kitchen. The stay awake night finished with bacon butties at 6am. Well done to Aishling, Anna, Brenda and Matthew, we are very proud of them all.

Beginning of School Year Mass and New Build Celebrations - September 2018
|
St. Patrick's Academy is celebrating their beginning of year Mass on Thursday 27 September at 10.00am in St. Patrick's Church, Lisburn. Parents who wish to attend the Mass are welcome to join us.
Following the mass, we will be marking the start of a historic year at St. Patrick's Academy with a bumper harvest of fun activities for all students. The school will be a hive of activity as we acknowledge the patience of our students who endured 2 years of building work and disruption due to the construction of the NEWBUILD - SCHOOL ENHANCEMENT PROJECT. Students will have the opportunity to sample an array of activities and enjoy a tasty barbeque as we celebrate the completion of our long awaited New Build and the start of another exciting year. |
