On behalf of the union, we would like to send our love and prayers to all of our past pupils, teachers and families at this difficult time. We also would like to thank all past pupils working in the healthcare and other frontline sectors. We would like to remind past pupils about the Copper Beech Trust. The Copper Beech trust formerly known as the Gonzaga Benevolent Fund, is a charity for Gonzaga Past Pupils, staff and families. The Trust has helped many in need with mental health, physical health, financial, or family problems. The Copper Beech trust works quietly and confidentiality in the background with those who need help. It's not just about assisting financially, it's about using the Gonzaga network in a positive way. If you or someone you know needs help and you feel there is no one else to turn to, please email copperbeech@gonzaga.ie where your enquiry will be dealt with in confidence. Now is the time that the Gonzaga Community stands together and helps each other in the difficult months ahead.
Lord, teach me to be generous;
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To toil, and not to seek for rest;
To labor, and not to ask for reward -
except to know that I am doing your will.
Stay safe and healthy
Will Sparks
