Secondary Schools gather at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral for Final Service with Bishop Paul Colton
Students and staff from the Diocese’s three Church of Ireland secondary schools gathered last Monday, 12th January 2026, at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral for a special service marking the conclusion of their shared worship with Bishop Paul Colton ahead of his retirement.
Those present included students and teachers from Ashton School, Bandon Grammar School, and Midleton College, along with principals and deputy principals, members of Boards of Management, school chaplains, and those involved in youth and school work across the Diocese. The cathedral was full, reflecting the strong connections between the schools and the wider diocesan community.
A report with further photos is available on the Cork, Cloyne and Ross diocesan website.
