On Tuesday, 14th November, at a Service for the whole school in the school gym, the Reverend Anne Skuse was commissioned as the new Chaplain to Bandon Grammar School in the United Dioceses of Cork, Cloyne and Ross. This is a new whole–time post co–funded by the Diocese and the School.

The commissioning was conducted by the Bishop of the Diocese, the Right Reverend Dr Paul Colton, who also presided at the Service. He was joined by staff and students who read the readings and prayers, and brought forward symbols of Christian ministry.

The school choir and musicians sang, and the hymns were accompanied by Mr Peter Stobart, Director of Music at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral, who is also Director of the new Diocesan Church Music Scheme.
