Students in St. Brigid’s Secondary School recently took part in an Easter egg raffle in aid of the Irish Pilgrimage Trust.

This is a very worthy cause, which brings 400 young people with special needs to Lourdes every Easter. The trip is free for the young people, but the volunteers pay their own fare and accommodation.

St Brigid’s raised €965, an incredible amount which will fully fund one young person’s trip to Lourdes.

Many thanks to those students who supported the raffle so generously and to teacher Ms Agnes Gilligan for overseeing the fundraising.
