To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen .

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link < Back An Act of Faith O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that your divine Son became man and died for our sins and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches because you have revealed them who are eternal truth and wisdom, who can neither deceive not be deceived. In this faith, I intend to live and die. Amen. Previous Next

There is something so beautiful of knowing that so many before me have made this holy pilgrimage. It truly makes me feel part of something greater than myself. Thank you all

It was lovely to have the oratory open and candles lit blessing all corners of the world. Two ravens circling overhead chortling at restored pilgrims sliding down the reek on their bottoms in the snow. The snow hasn’t melted on the path and in places where it’s compacted it’s very slippery and easy to fall over. Be careful.

< Back Westport Educate Together Westport Educate Together National School Westport Educate Together is a new primary school in Westport, Co. Mayo. We opened in 2019 with our first Junior Infants Class. We are currently located at Westport Woods, The Quay, Westport, Co. Mayo, F28 E6N4. As an Educate Together School, we are equality based, child-centred, democratically run and co-educational. Like any many other schools in Ireland, Educate Together schools are state-funded and teach the National Curriculum. They are non-fee-paying schools and are open to students of all backgrounds. They are co-educational and have no school uniforms. But they are much more than that: Educate Together schools work hard to instil a sense of equality and justice in students. They embrace the input of parents, students, staff and the wider community to improve the school in every way possible. They are committed to enabling students to achieve their full potential. All students are encouraged to explore their full range of abilities and are provided with equal opportunities regardless of their identity. Educate Together schools put students at the heart of all policies and practices. All children have equal access to school and no one religion or worldview is given priority over another in Educate Together schools.

< Back St. Patrick's N.S. Clare Island Primary School • St. Patrick's N.S. Clare Island St. Patrick’s N.S. is a school full of history, first built in 1887. It originally began as a small, one-room schoolhouse and was one of only two schools on Clare Island at the time. Over the years, the school has grown — it was extended and renovated eighteen years ago, and in 2015, two more classrooms were added. Today, the school is bright and spacious with plenty of room for all our pupils. Recently, we also upgraded our playground and added a bicycle shed. Our school is located in the heart of Clare Island, in the village of Kille, right beside the church and the old Cistercian Abbey. We are lucky to have stunning views of Clew Bay, with Croagh Patrick, Inishturk, and the mainland visible in the distance. Ms. Winters is our school principal, and she also teaches in the junior classroom. Our acting vice principal, Ms. Mc Ging, teaches the senior classroom, and Ms. Cunniffe is our learning support teacher. Gráinne, our school secretary, looks after the office, administration, and computer work. We are also very lucky to have Ms. Finn, who teaches us music every Friday. We are very proud of our Green Schools achievements. We earned our first Green Flag in 2007 for our work in reducing, reusing, and recycling. Since then, we have received four more Green Flags, most recently for promoting sustainable travel. This year, we are working towards a flag for Biodiversity. Sport is an important part of school life. We play football, soccer, rugby, and rounders. Our Gaelic football team takes part in the Cumann na mBunscoil competitions, playing against other small schools. For over fourteen years, Clare Island has hosted the Small Schools Football Blitz, which was paused during Covid but returned last year. It’s a fun day where over a hundred children come together to play football. Every year, we take swimming lessons in Westport Leisure Park for eight weeks during May and June. These trips are a great way to learn new skills and visit places like the garda station, fire station, library, and playgrounds. We also have summer swimming lessons on the island, run by the Irish Water Safety Council.
