Christmas Highlights

Well done everyone on a very successful Christmas week of activities: hikes, community clean ups, first aid courses, class competitions and city tours all proved popular.


First Aid Certs will be awarded shortly.

Congratulations to all the TY Students, Jimmy, Christian, Robbie and the Chaplaincy team for all their hard work with the Christmas Hampers. In total 73 Hampers were delivered to families across Dublin.


This would not be possible without the incredible generosity of all those who donated. A special thank you to you all.

 

STMC TY Camino Trip


(24th May - 29th May)

Expression of Interest


The Camino, or “The Way”, is a network of medieval paths across Spain and Europe that all lead to one final destination – the city of Santiago De Compostela. Situated in the Celtic region of Galicia in north-western Spain, Santiago has attracted countless walkers and pilgrims for over a thousand years.


The most popular section is between Sarria and Santiago, a walk that typically takes 5 days (and counts for your Camino certificate as it’s a little more than the 100km minimum for this purpose). About 60-70% of all pilgrims begin at some point along the Camino Francés.


Parents/carers if you would like your son to be considered for this please fill in this form.


Sample Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Flight to Santiago, 13:10 - 16:30 (current schedule times). Upon arrival in Santiago, you will get a private transfer from Santiago airport to your starting point, Ferreiros.
