St Brigid’s Cross Making with Miss McAuley
Today we were delighted to welcome back our friend and former teacher, Miss McAuley, who visited St Joseph’s as part of our Catholic Schools Week celebrations. Since her retirement, Miss McAuley returns each year to work with our Year 6 pupils, teaching them the traditional Irish craft of making St Brigid’s Crosses — a skill she is passionate about passing on to the next generation.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience, learning about the significance of Saint Brigid while carefully weaving their own crosses. As a special surprise, Miss McAuley also gifted every Year 6 pupil a beautiful medal. We are very grateful for Miss McAuley’s time, talent and generosity. Her continued connection to our school community is a blessing, especially during Catholic Schools Week.
Next week, Canon Colm will visit the school to bless the St Brigid’s Crosses before the children take them home to celebrate the Feast Day of St Brigid on 1st February.
