Statue of St. Brigid - a gift to our school community

Mary Ferris, artist and sculptor has gifted a bronze of Saint Brigid to our school community. Saint Brigid was born in 454 and was the founder of the first monastery in County Kildare.. There are many stories of her piety and her deep concern for the poor who were never turned away. Saint Brigid became known for her kindness, generosity and faith and the making of the cross of rushes became synonymous with her and the tradition now bears her name. She is one of the Patron Saints of Ireland, along with St Patrick and St Columcille. A beautiful gift, gratefully received.
