St. Mary’s CBS Christmas Appeal for a Family in Need

Dear St. Mary's CBS Community,

As part of our tradition, the school staff has come together each year to anonymously support a family in need during the holiday season, ensuring they experience the joy and warmth of Christmas. This year, the family we’ve identified—a single parent with several children—faces challenges far greater than we can address alone.

To truly make a difference, we are reaching out to you, our incredible school community, for support. Together, we can provide this family with essentials like food and meaningful Christmas gifts for the children. Every contribution, big or small, will go directly toward easing their struggles and bringing joy to their Christmas experience.

Here’s how you can help:

Donations: Monetary contributions can be made in cash to the school office or here on our Christmas Appeal Go Fund Me page.

We launched this appeal via Revolut earlier today and that account sits at an amazing €1850 which will be added to funds raised here. Due to the overwhelming response to that appeal we had to set up this page.

We kindly ask for donations by Wednesday 18th December so we can ensure everything is ready in time for Christmas.

Let’s come together to show the true spirit of generosity and community that defines St. Mary's CBS Portlaoise. Your kindness can make a world of difference for this family.

Thank you so much for all your donations so far and for being a part of this meaningful initiative.

Warm wishes,

St. Mary’s CBS Staff
