Loreto Garden- “Suaimhneas”

Loreto Garden- Official Opening

 

In Term 1, we were pleased to officially open our outdoor learning space with a special blessing.

 We wish to recognise those who have made this dream possible. Thanks to Ms Falls and all the team of staff and pupils who have been involved in shaping the Garden over the past 2 years.  We appreciate all the support we have received internally and from external sponsors and parents.  Following our Blessing, tomorrow, classes, staff and pupils will be welcome to use the garden for Learning and Teaching or simply for “Suaimhneas” – the name of the Garden Area, meaning tranquility, peace or rest and fitting as a memory to our Loreto Sisters who formerly rested there and for whom we pray for their “Suaimhneas Síoraí” – eternal rest.

Thank you to our sponsors: Mullan Engineering -Main Garden Sponsor McFadden Quarries, Adman, McIvor Engineering, Omagh Credit Union, Landscape and Garden Supplies, Dromore Road, Omagh, Serendipity, Devenney Family,Modern Tyres, John Devenney, Woodvale, Saturday Club, Fermac Properties, Loreto Staff, Colum Meyler Photography.

Sr. Orla Treacy – New School in Aweil, South Sudan

 

We were delighted to welcome Sr. Orla Treacy and her team from Loreto Rumbek to speak to us about an exciting new adventure.  Loreto were approached by past pupils of Loreto Rumbek about opening a new school in Aweil, 400km from Rumbek in South Sudan.  Sr. Orla has tasked each student with buying a brick, at a cost of £10, using their own money (Not their parents!)

Sr. Orla is also seeking sponsorship of secondary school students in the new school.

For details of sponsoring a student or sponsoring a brick, please see the attached post cards.
