Dear Friend,
You are cordially invited to the 50th Anniversary Celebration of Rath N.S on Saturday 22nd June 2013.
The celebrations will commence with a special mass @ 4.00 pm in St. John's Church, Rath, concelebrated by Bishop Michael Smith, Rev John Moorhead and other visiting priests.
Following this, guests will visit the school. There will be a historic display of roll books, photographs etc. dating from 1963 up to present day. This will give you the opportunity to meet with old friends and acquaintances and share stories and memories from your school
days over a cup of tea and light refreshments.
A "Rath N.S. Anniversary Booklet" will be on sale on the evening. We would be delighted to recieve any old photographs, memories or memorabilia that you would like to share. Please forward these (clearly marked with the date of the photograph, your name and address) to any committee member or directly to school via post, email or by person . All photographs will be treated with great care and returned.
It is the fervent wish of the anniversary committee that all past and present pupils and their families will join us for this wonderful occasion. We look forward to seeing you all on the day.
