Dear Members of St Augustine's College Community,
Funeral and School Arrangement for Brother Finbar R.I.P
Reposing in St Monica’s Chapel at St Augustine’s College on Thursday, 30th of November, from 4.30 pm to 7 pm, with a brief prayer service at 6.45 pm. Removal from St Augustine’s College to the Friary Church in Dungarvan at 7 pm. Funeral mass on Friday, 1st December at 11.30 am, with burial on the Church grounds immediately after the requiem mass.
St Augustine’s College will be closed on Friday, 1st of December, to honour Brother Finbar’s legacy and to allow our community to pay their respects. There will be school as normal on Thursday, the 30th.
The school will have a Guard of Honour to welcome Brother Finbar to St. Monica’s Chapel at 4.15 pm. We hope that as many students as possible can stay on in school for the Guard of Honour. However, we understand that for some, this may not be possible and that many students travel by bus. Buses will run as normal for students travelling home at 4 pm. Note there will be no evening study on both Thursday and Friday.
We ask that no one enter the school grounds to collect students at 4 pm as arrangements will be underway for the arrival of Bro Finbar.
As we prepare to bid farewell to Brother Finbar, we reflect on his immeasurable contributions to our school community. His dedication, kindness, and wisdom have touched many lives, and his legacy will continue to inspire us. In this time of mourning, let us come together as a community to celebrate Brother Finbar's life and the unforgettable mark he has left on our hearts.
May he rest in peace.
Kind Regards
Michael O'Sullivan (Principal)
