All children are welcome to dress up as shepherds and angels in the church on Christmas Eve. If anyone would like to bring birthday card to Happy Birthday Baby Jesus they are very welcome to do so & these will be collected on the day. If any family or friends can't be there on the day, they can watch it on the parish webcam at kinsaleparish.org

Thank you!

We are the artistic committee for the Simon Community Fundraiser 2017. We are sure you must have seen our beautiful posters up around Kinsale advertising last Friday’s coffee morning. So we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped us to raise €3,001.33 for Cork Simon Community. To those who baked, donated money, donated raffle prizes, who attended on the day, to the teachers for allowing us to do it, to Darren on our web team for taking the time to put up all our posts and a huge thank you to Carol for organizing this annual event.

We contacted Cork Simon today and once again they have asked us to buy sleeping bags again this year. They are delighted with the huge amount we raised and we are delighted that we can make some difference to our homeless people this winter. So Happy Christmas to all and a final thank you for your support from the children of 5th and 6th class.

Club Na Mara Important Notice October 2017

Club Na Mara Important Notice

If your child is booked into Club na Mara on a given day, and you decide to arrange a playdate, it is essential that you contact me, Trish Ryan on 087-9475367 directly to make me aware of their absence at Club. Children will not be permitted to go on a playdate if I have not been informed of the arrangement and am unable to contact a parent to confirm the playdate.  This could be stressful for everyone involved so I am asking all parents to adhere to this rule.  If your child is collected by Grandparents, childminders, au pairs or friends of yours, please inform them of this very important safety issue.

On another note, Gaelscoil Chionn tSáile has a healthy eating policy (See below). As Club Na Mara operates within Gaelscoil Chionn tSáile then all school policies and rules apply to Club Na Mara including the Healthy Eating Policy.  Hence, all snacks, drinks, and food that you provide for your child during their time at Club Na Mara MUST adhere to this Healthy Eating Policy.

Your co-operation with all of the above is greatly appreciated.

KYCC St. Patrick's Day Fundraiser

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to, supported and helped out with the Kinsale Youth Community Cafe Fundraiser on St. Patrick's Day.  We raised a whopping €675.00 which is absolutely fantastic!!

Our cafe has no means of income and plenty of outgoings so fundraisers like this give vital funds to keep us going. The cafe is open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.  If anyone is interested in becoming a volunteer Youth Leader please call in and collect a Garda Vetting form and we can take it from there.  If you have any skills, information or ideas for fundraisers or events that you would like to share with us please do not hesitate in contacting me Trish Ryan on 087-9475367 or you can access the KYCC team on the following facebook page
