A Laois school has celebrated their patron's in a touching tradition.

On March 4th, Mountrath Community School marked its inaugural Patrons' Day, a new tradition that honours the school’s rich history and values.

The event was made even more special with the presence of several important patrons, including Linda Tynan from LOETB, Br. Gerry, Br. Matthew, Br. Nicholas, Sr. Mary Sheedy, and Mary Kavanagh.placeholder image
