Students from St Mary’s High School, Midleton celebrate the 15th anniversary of Ceist. Cork school celebrates Ceist’s 15th anniversary
On February 1, St Brigid’s Day, St Mary’s High School, Midleton in Co. Cork celebrated the 15th anniversary of the foundation of Ceist.
To celebrate the occasion a representative group from St Mary’s visited the Presentation Sisters in the convent adjacent to the school.
A spokesperson said: “Ceist post-primary schools, through the whole process of teaching and learning, promote the Gospel message of ‘fullness of life’. Our aim in St Mary’s is for the girls to live life to the full, to laugh and to make the most of every opportunity.”
They added that Ceist endeavours to inculcate Christian values and the empowerment of women in the world today.
The organisation is a trust body of Catholic schools which includes the Presentation order schools, of which St Mary’s High School is a member.
Pro-life group encourages students to make contact
Pro-life group ‘Students for Life’ is appealing for those who are either a student of UCC (University College Cork) or interested in setting up a pro-life group on their college campus to contact them.
In December 2021 a group of UCC students came together with the goal of defending the preborn and promoting a culture of life in society.
Students for Life stated: “Students for Life exists to support students on campus to be activists for life, educating fellow students about the fundamental human right to life and to support pregnant students and parents on campus, as we believe that no student should have to choose between having a baby and continuing their education.
They said the group “is setting an example for the entire [pro-life] movement, showing the power of young people’s voices in turning the tide in our generation”.
