Two 5th year students from Millstreet Community School will be participating
in the Rise and Shine (formerly known as the Irish Pilgrimage Trust) young
people’s pilgrimage to Lourdes during their Easter holidays 2026. Katie
O’Keeffe and Caoilfhionn O’Connor will be acting as student helpers and
travelling to Lourdes with Group 126. Millstreet students have been travelling
with this group since 2011.
As was the case in the past, the aim is to cover accommodation and travel
costs for the two students (around €750/person) with all extra funds being
passed onto Group 126. Each group is meant to raise the funds to cover the
costs of all the young people with special needs who travel with them to
Lourdes.
The girls’ first fundraising venture will be a table quiz. This will be held in
Corkery’s Bar, Millstreet on Friday 7 th November 2025, beginning at 8pm.
€40/table of four.
Your support for this event would be greatly appreciated.
Three students will be going to Lourdes as student helpers at Easter 2026 Katie, Caoilfhionn and Mike. The purpose of the table quiz is to help cover their travel and accommodation costs for the week. It’s always a great night!
