Bake Sale on 14th & 15th Feb. Supporting Lourdes Group

Three 5th year students from Millstreet Community School will be participating in the Rise and Shine Trust young people’s pilgrimage to Lourdes during their Easter holidays in April. They are Katie O’Keeffe, Caoilfhionn O’Connor and Mike O’Donoghue.

 As was the case in the past, the aim is to cover accommodation and travel costs for the students travelling (around €820/person) with all extra funds being passed onto Group 126.  The group is meant to raise €19,000 in total to cover the costs of all the young people with special needs who travel with them to Lourdes.

The first fundraising venture was a table quiz that took place in November 2025.  It was a wonderful night and a great success with more than €2100 raised.  As a result, most of the travel and accommodation costs have been covered but there is an amount needed.  Also, the students wanted to raise funds to contribute to the fundraising efforts of Group 126. 

 To help make all this possible a bake sale will be held in Millstreet Parish Centre after 6.15pm Mass on Saturday 14th Feb and after 11.30am Mass on Sunday 15th Feb.

 Your support for this event would be greatly appreciated.

Millstreet Students Going on Pilgrimage to Lourdes

Millstreet students going on Pilgrimage to Lourdes as helpers at Easter 2023

Following a gap of three years, the Irish Pilgrimage Trust are finally able to hold their pilgrimage to Lourdes at Easter 2023.  The other great news is that two 5th year students from Millstreet Community School will be going along as helpers with Group 126. They are Holly Dunne and Rachel Dineen.

The tradition of students from MCS going to Lourdes as helpers with the Irish Pilgrimage Trust goes back ten years or so, but the COVID pandemic brought things to a halt just a month before the 2020 trip was due to take place.

As was the case in the past, the aim is to cover accommodation and travel costs for the two students (€790/person) with all extra funds being passed onto Group 126 (who the girls will be travelling with).  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 first fundraising event are two bake sales which will take place in the Millstreet Parish Centre on Saturday 17th December after the 6.15pm Mass and on Sunday 18th December after the 11.30am Mass.  Your support for these events would be gratefully appreciated.
