Easter Service 2014
A time of hope and healing
Donal WalshThe students created a video about Donal Walsh with Shane O'Brien, they had seen him on TV and had been impressed with his courage and found him a very inspiring person. Out of that came the request to invite Donal's mother Elma Walsh to address our school gathering at easter. It was felt that her story epitomised the story of Easter which is a story of death and resurrection. Out of the tragedy of Donal's death, Elma and her husband Finbar set up the Live Life to the Full foundation, doing what they can to support young people during various times of crisis in their lives. They have supported Pieta house in setting up counselling rooms for teenagers and they have supported hospitals where terminally ill teenagers are being treated.
