On Thursday 13th June, we had a very special visitor come to our school. Barefield National School had the pleasure of welcoming Bishop Fintan Monahan. Bishop Fintan spoke to the pupils about his vocation as a Bishop, his pastimes of running and cycling, he brought a Hurley, Clare Crusaders t shirt, a Galway and Clare jersey, a Shillelagh and his Bishop Staff. The Bishop had question time with the pupils. The school choir sang and Tigh na Coille céilí band played a few tunes. The pupils of 6th class with their teacher created a memento for the Bishop to take away and this was presented by two pupils, Finn and Aaron. A tremendous day was had by all and a day that will go down in the history books of Barefield National School.
