I’m a little prayer rock, and this is what I’ll do,
Just put me on your pillow, ‘til the day is through.
Then turn back the covers and turn into your bed,
And, whack! Your little prayer rock will bump you on the head.
Then you will remember, when the day is through,
To kneel and say your prayers, as you intended to.
Because your heavenly Father, cares and loves you so,
He wants you to remember, to talk to him, you know!
Can you spot yours?

The highly esteemed Paul O’Connell was present to greet the team and their supporters! This was an astonishing achievement for the boys together with their coaches, families and the school that will be held in high regard for many years to come. (more…)
