Faith and Courage in Action: Leadership and Sport

Ember Renewal Day

On 16th January, our Ember Team attended the Ember Renewal Day at St. Patrick’s Campus, DCU, Drumcondra. This special event provided an enriching experience for our students, allowing them to connect with fellow Ember teams from schools across Dublin. It was a valuable occasion to share achievements, exchange ideas, and gain inspiration for the journey ahead. The day was filled with moments of prayer, reflection, and community, offering our students a chance to deepen their commitment to their roles as faith leaders in our school. Through engaging discussions and workshops, they explored new ways to continue fostering a spirit of service and leadership within our school community.

The Ember Renewal Day served as a reminder of the importance of faith in action, encouraging students to carry their light forward and support their peers with renewed energy and enthusiasm. It was an uplifting experience that reinforced the values of unity, compassion, and growth.
