Best Wishes to Fr Lorcan

Friday 29th September was a sad day for us in Coláiste as we said farewell to our Chaplin, Lorcan. Lorcan has been with us in Coláiste since we came in to being following the amalgamation of the three schools in the town in 1999, he also worked in the Vocational School prior to that meaning he has worked with students in our town for 25 years. He’ll be sorely missed by management, his colleagues, students, past students and all of the extended Coláiste family. Lorcan takes up his new position in Portroe parish in the coming weeks. We wish him the very best of luck.
