The students and staff of Bandon Grammar School gathered together at St Peter’s Church, Bandon for their annual Service of Carols and Readings for Advent and Christmas.

The service was led by the School Chaplain, the Rev. Anne Skuse and the school choir was directed by Ms Power, accompanied by Mr Colin Nichols, organist at St Peter’s Church. In her address the Rev. Skuse spoke about darkness and its many forms in the world today, but of how ‘holy incarnation happens over and over again when we open our hearts to God’s love and light, which is his gift to us at Christmas’.  

During the service food hampers were presented by Transition Year students to representatives of Bandon Family Resource Services. The principal, Ms Niamh McShane, together with representatives from the Bandon Family Resource Centre thanked the students and their families for their generous donations.
