When I was 40 min in I thought oh this is so hard I could turn back. Then I remembered this is an old pattern of mine saying I can't do it and 3 hours later I reached the top. Thank you.

< Back Drummin National School Drummin National School There has been a school in the village of Drummin since 1849, with the building dating back to 1936. Over the years there have been many refurbishments and renovations, including a new classroom and a beautiful landscaped playground, which includes picnic benches for dining al fresco, a vegetable garden and an insect hotel. Drummin NS is a happy, busy school where pupils and staff respect, care and support each other in an inclusive environment on their journey through primary school. We place great emphasis on developing and nurturing the whole child. The child's personal talents and interests are encouraged and developed, building a solid foundation for lifelong learning and confidence. Our low pupil to teacher ratio means that every child gets the attention and time they deserve. We provide opportunities for the children to take part in a number of fun activities throughout the year including playing tin whistle, ukulele, mindfulness, yoga, meditation, art projects, table tennis, sport, science experiments, environmental activities and growing our own food and plants. We are a Green School and are currently undertaking the Amber Flag initiative, supporting positive mental health and looking after our minds and bodies. We celebrate this every week during Wellness Wednesday. Please take time to explore our website and like our Facebook page for regular updates on all the goings on in our school.

Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link < Back Glory Be (Doxology) - Traditional Wording Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. The Gloria Patri , also known in English as the Glory Be to the Father or, colloquially, the Glory Be , is a doxology , a short hymn of praise to God in various Christian liturgies . It is also referred to as the Minor Doxology (Doxologia Minor) or Lesser Doxology , to distinguish it from the Greater Doxology, the Gloria in Excelsis Deo . The earliest Christian doxologies are addressed to the Father "through" (διὰ) the Son , or to the Father and the Holy Spirit with (μετά) the Son, or to the Son with (σύν) the Father and the Holy Spirit. The Trinitarian doxology addressed in parallel fashion to all three Divine Persons of the Trinity, joined by and (καί), as in the form of baptism, Matthew 28:19 , became universal in Nicaean Christianity , which was established as the official faith of the Church with the Edict of Thessalonica in 380. Roman Rite Latin version Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. This differs from the Greek version because of the insertion of "sicut erat in principio", which is now taken to mean "as it (glory) was in the beginning", but which seems originally to have meant "as he (the Son) was in the beginning", and echo of the opening words of the Gospel according to John : "In the beginning was the Word ". In 529, the Second Synod of Vasio ( Vaison-la-Romaine ) in Gaul said in its fifth canon that the second part of the doxology, with the words "sicut erat in principio", was used in Rome, the East, and Africa, and ordered that it be said likewise in Gaul. Writing in the 1909 Catholic Encyclopedia , Adrian Fortescue , while remarking that what the synod said of the East was false, took the synod's decree to mean that the form originally used in the West was the same as the Greek form. From about the 7th century, the present Roman Rite version became almost universal throughout the West. more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Patri Previous Next

It is said to be the mountain which St. Patrick himself climbed up, and pilgrims have been hiking up its hillside ever since. Those who are feeling especially penitential will climb the mountain barefoot, and apparently we had a contrite batch of students, as at least a third of the group climbed up the hill sans footwear. In all seriousness, it was beautiful to watch them experience the physical and spiritual journey of the mountain. We made frequent stops for short reflections and prayers, and each time we paused, we were reminded of how blessed we are to live on this beautiful Earth.

Thanks be to God!
