On Monday 23rd October, Bishop Fintan visited St. Patrick’s College, Gardiner’s Hill.
In the course of his visit Bishop Fintan led a beautiful prayer service arranged by the school. Following a visit of the school facilities, he participated in a question-and-answer session with students. He reminded them of the three words of advice from Pope Francis at the recent World Youth Day - to shine, to listen and to be unafraid.
Bishop Fintan also visited An Cuan, met parents and staff and spoke to students.
