National Resources for use in schools can be accessed on www.catholiceducation.ie and our own blog www.resource-ni.com.   Catholic Schools Week will take place from Sunday 18^th to Saturday 24^th January 2026 

We hope to hold our own Armagh Diocesan Launch Service on Tuesday January 13^th  2026 led by Archbishop Eamon together with other local Clergy. The launch celebration will be in St John the Baptist Church Drumcree, Portadown at 11.00 am. Please note that the time is early as schools may wish to be back to base for lunchtime. Having the launch the week before gives schools time to reflect and plan their own local celebrations.

This will be followed by Seinn, Songs of Praise in the Church of the Holy Redeemer in Dundalk on Thursday January 22^nd. Archbishop Eamon and Bishop Michael hope to be present  

You are encouraged to attend either liturgy (or both if you wish!) with some students and members of staff.  Representatives from your Board of Governors/Management and parents are also most welcome.  

Summary of Venues and dates are as follows:

Tuesday,  13^h January 2026 at 11.00 am – St John the Baptist Parish Church, Drumcree  Portadown ;

Thursday, 22^nd January at 11.30 am  – Seinn, Songs of Praise at Holy Redeemer Church, Ard Easmuinn, Dundalk.
