New In Brief
The young pupils of a Limerick school surprised a grateful priest by reuniting him with his All-Ireland winning medals.
The Confirmation class of Caherline National School were asked to choose an act of kindness, and decided to help Fr Par Currivan after he mentioned he had lost the medals from the menor finals in 1952 and 1953.
“The pupils read out pieces describing what Fr Currivan meant to them. The medals and photographs were then presented to an emotional and gracious Fr Currivan. He was overwhelmed at the effort the pupils went to. We are extremely proud of the pupils and their project,” Principle Michael McCarthy told the Limerick Leader.
Fr Currivan has served the Caherconlish/Caherline parish for 39 years and said it was a “total surprise”, and thanked the children for their kindness.
