Forty of our students, present and past, along with Mr Toal and Ms Finneran travelled to Dublin early on Saturday morning 7th December to help out with the annual street collection for the Capuchin Centre for the homeless, poor and elderly.


The Capuchin Centre has seen a 100% increase in the demand for its services in the past year alone and they are a lifeline service for huge numbers of people currently struggling to cope with the continued recession.
