Founder's Day - 2019
20/05/2019
On Wednesday, 15 May, we celebrated Founder’s Day in St. Colman’s Church Macroom. Mass was attended by the students of De La Salle College and St. Colman’s Boys National School, teachers, retired members of staff, past pupils and parents. This year was of great significance as we celebrated the Tercentenary of the death of our Founder & the Patron Saint of Teachers, Saint John Baptist De la Salle. Fr. Joe O’ Mahony was the celebrant of the mass and during his homily we were reminded of the wonderful work that St la Salle accomplished and the legacy that he left 300 hundred years later.
