Annual St. Vincent de Paul Collection 2022
Once again, the students, families and friends of Lucan Community College showed their generosity during our annual St. Vincent de Paul collection. We raised a brilliant €2,300 through our secret bag collection in school last week and from our Christmas Concert which was held in the school on Thursday 8th of December.
We would like to thank our prefect team for giving up their time to collect and count the donations and also for their promotion of this worthy cause among the student body.
On Friday 16th of December, a presentation was made to representatives from the local SVP conference by the prefects and organising teachers; N. Walsh, M. Feeney, A. Hackett and A. Bolger. Thanks to everyone for their kind donations for this worthy cause supporting local families and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

13th December 2021
Dear Students, Families & Colleagues,
This December marks 36 years of you the Lucan Community College families, students and staff supporting the local St. Vincent de Paul Society. We would like to thank you for your generosity and supporting your local community.
Christmas 2021 sees many additional needs and burdens placed upon families in the local community during these difficult and challenging times. It is vital that Lucan Community College continues to support St. Vincent de Paul and their work in our community.
Fundraising for the local society has been hugely impacted by Covid-19 restrictions (the cancellation of church-gate collections etc.), so it has never been more important to keep up the tradition of supporting St. Vincent de Paul here in the local community.
On Thursday 16th of December we are having our annual Christmas ‘Secret Bag’ collection for the local St. Vincent de Paul society, St. Patrick’s Lucan. A Christmas Stocking will be passed around each classroom during tutorial where students will place some money towards the society. Big or small, all contributions are gratefully appreciated and will go directly into the community to help those in need this Christmas. Please give as generously as possible.
Most importantly, if you are a family in need the services of St. Vincent de Paul are available to you. Please contact your local office.
A most sincere ‘Thank You’ in anticipation of your kindness and generosity, and a Happy and Peaceful Christmas and New Year to all.
Yours sincerely,
Marissa Mulhern and Nicola Walsh

Dear Students, Families & Colleagues,
This December marks 35 years of you the College families, students and staff supporting the local St. Vincent de Paul Society. Thank you for your generosity and support over the years. It is really appreciated by the local families who it helps.
The tradition of collecting and distributing hampers to the local community and the subsequent “Secret Bag” collection was initiated and organised by our recently retired colleague, Margaret Ryan, who completed 34 annual collections for the local St. Vincent de Paul conference – for which thank her sincerely.
This year Christmas 2020 sees additional needs for many families in the local community in these difficult and challenging times. It is vital that Lucan Community College continues to support St. Vincent de Paul and their work in our community. Fundraising for the local society has been hugely impacted by Covid-19 restrictions (the cancellation of church-gate collections etc.), so it has never been a more important year to keep up the tradition of supporting St. Vincent de Paul here in Lucan.
On Wednesday 16th of December we are having our annual Christmas collection for the local St. Vincent de Paul society. It will once again take the form of a “secret bag collection” where students will pass around a bag and place in it, some money towards the society. Big or small, all contributions are gratefully appreciated and will go directly into the community to help those in need this Christmas. Please give as generously as possible.
If you are a family in need, the services of St. Vincent de Paul are available to you, so please contact your local branch here in Lucan.

Lucan Community College Non-Uniform Day – donations to SVP local conference
Thank you for supporting our Midterm Non Uniform Day. Our nominated charity is the Society of St Vincent De Paul. To avoid collecting coins and notes from students we are asking our school community to donate on-line this year. Don’t forget that masks must still be worn and all the usual health and safety rules apply.
Go to: https://svp.ie/get-involved/donate/single-donation.aspx
Select East for where you want your donation to go to and write in Lucan Community College as the Company Name so that all of our donations can be identified and passed onto our local conference. Then enter all other necessary information and click donate now.
As Friday 23rd October is Ms Margaret Ryan’s final school day as she takes early retirement, it is fitting that we use Friday’s non-uniform day to raise money for this worthy cause as Ms Ryan has organised the school Christmas SVP collection (from hampers to financial donations) for an incredible 34 years with the assistance of many other staff members and student leaders. Thank you Ms Ryan for your leadership of this initiative over the life time of the Lucan Community College.
SVP’s help and support in our local community is so vital in these challenging times and their usual fund-raising opportunities have been badly affected by the restrictions in place. Thank you for giving whatever you can to help those in our community who need some additional help and support at this time.

FUNDRAISING
The College held a Jersey Day last Friday 28th of February in memory of our dear teacher Mr David Byrne.
We raised over €2000 which will go to support a student in the college who is having medical treatment abroad. Great to see the whole school community join together in remembrance of Mr David Byrne while also supporting one of our own students.
