Staff were delighted to welcome the family of SNA, Una Kinnane from Templemore, who passed away last summer, to come to visit the school.

Last December, the school held a "Colour Day" to raise funds to purchase a memory bench for Una.

They raised enough funds to purchase two benches and it was a lovely occasion for Una's mother, Peg, sister, Anna and daughter, Sarah to come to Cashel and get a glimpse of her career at St John the Baptist BNS.
