Clonburris celebrates 40 years

Our Lady Queen of the Apostles National School and Church, Clonburris, Clondalkin are celebrating their 40th Anniversary with a series of celebratory events during the week of October 8th – 14th.

Clonburris Church and School were both established in 1978 and are housed within the same building in the Clondalkin parish.

Thousands of pupils from the Clondalkin parish and beyond have been educated in the School since it opened its doors and it currently has an enrolment of 560 pupils.

Ex-pupils and parishioners will gather for the series of celebratory events to commemorate the milestone and reminisce about times past.

The main celebration will be held in the Red Cow on Friday 12th October with a night of Music, Cabaret and Memories. Tickets are currently available from the School, priced €15.

There will be a Mass for the Community at 11:00am on Sunday 14th in Clonburris Church followed by a cup of tea and an opportunity to reminisce.

The schoolchildren will have a series of events and activities during the week including a School Mass and a visit from the Garda Band.

Past pupils and parents are asked to spread the word so that as many as possible are informed of the week’s celebratory events. Further information can be found on the School’s website www.clonburrisns.ie
