Election of new B.O.M for Clonmacnois School
Re: Election of Parent's / Guardian's representatives.
This week a letter will be sent to all Parents / Guardians of children attending the School to seek permission to circulate their names for nomination to the B.O.M., in keeping with the requirements of the Data Protection Act. You are free to answer 'Yes' or 'No'.
The reply should be returned to the School before next Thursday.

Support Fair Trade

Fair Trade Changes Lives



Often poor people in developing countries do not get a fair price for their products. Our Diocese, along with groups like Trócaire, Concern, Oxfam, ICTU are promoting Fair-trade Products. These have the special Logo, which you see above, and guarantee that the producers in developing countries get a fair price for their products, e.g. tea, coffee, bananas, etc.
On the weekend of 1/2 Dec we hope to have a lady speak on 'Fair Trade' at all the Masses, and after Mass you will be offered a cup of tea or coffee in the adjoining Hall, where you can also see a selection of Fair Trade products.
