CELEBRATING 50 YEARS
On Thursday 24th November a special mass was held in the Church to celebrate 50 years of Our Lady of Victories Schools. It was wonderful to have the schoolchildren with the principals, teachers,staff and parents present at 10am Mass. Indeed some parishioners have played a vital role in the development and growth of the schools over the years. Fr John Delany celebrated the mass and the liturgy was enhanced by the beautiful music.
