The Shanbally N.S Christmas Mass took place today. It was a prayerful and respectful ceremony and an ideal preparation for Christmas. The children were very much involved in the event and really made a special effort with readings, prayers and singing. Thanks to Fr Con Cronin who made the Mass so child friendly. We really enjoyed the wonderful singing and music which was prepared so well by Ms O Connell and Ms Kelly. Mrs Barry also did a wonderful job organising the ceremony and directing proceedings. Finally we had some lovely encouraging words from Mr Nolan who wished everybody a peaceful Christmas.
