This week, all our children, teenagers and school staffs return to school for a new academic year, which we all agree will be very different from before. Since schools were closed since the middle of March, it has been a challenging time for everyone. At the same time, everyone has, and continues to do their best to ensure we are living with a new norm, and the school year will be no different. We in the parish want to wish every good wish and blessing to all who are returning to school, whether it’s primary, secondary or third level.

We hope the year ahead will be a fruitful one and that everyone will look out for each other. May God keep each of you safe and well and may your work this year bear much fruit.
