As the principal of Piercestown N.S., I am very much looking forward to my first ‘Holy Communion’ at Piercestown Church. I would like to extend a huge bualadh bos and thank you to Mrs. Newport for all of her hard work and dedication over the year and to Siobhán Berry for her help with the booklets and art work. Many thanks also to Mrs. Foran and the choir. Saturday will see all of the hard work pay off.
