Service of thanksgiving held at St Mark’s
Last week the school community at St Mark’s High School, Warrenpoint, welcomed Mr Paul Reilly and his beautiful wife Ann.
Paul was a caretaker in St. Mark’s for over 15 years. After retirement, Paul continued to play an important role in the school as he visited every week and led the Rosary with students and staff in the prayer room.
A special prayer service of thanksgiving was provided by Monsignor Connolly who, on behalf of the school, acknowledged Paul for his faithful service and commitment to the faith development of staff and students in St Mark’s.
A school spokesperson said: “We are delighted that the Governors and Principal have decided to dedicate our prayer room to Paul in recognition of the contribution he has made to our school.”
After the Prayer Service, those in attendance gathered for photos outside the ‘Paul Reilly Prayer Room’.
Thank you to Year 11 students Maria, Ella and Aimee who represented the students and also led the Rosary during the prayer service.
Thank you Paul from the Governors, Principal, Staff and Students, and to all who made the event so special.
