Tipperary students celebrate the Harvest with a beautiful ceremony
St Mary's Parochial School Clonmel
St Mary’s Parochial in Clonmelschool celebrated their Harvest Festival at the end of October.
Staff, pupils and parents came together in Old St Mary’s Church joined by school community members.
Revd. Mike O’Meara led the school, teaching all about the significance of Harvest around the world. He even had the children come up and play an interactive game, where they had to match produce, to its country of origin and an interactive story about the Little Red Hen!
The children also gave super singing performances, recorder playing and readings in many languages.
The wonderful volunteers from Clonmel’s Soup Kitchen joined the Harvest Festival and spoke about the important work they do.
The pupils donated lots of non-perishable food to this vital local cause. They gave thanks for all the warm houses they have and all the people who nurture them.
