The prayer Sé do Bheatha a Mhuire (which Mrs Bogan said in class daily) was recited and one of her favourite songs, Molly Molone was sung by two students as Gaeilge.An tÁivé Máiria‘Sé do bheatha, a Mhuire, atá lán de ghrásta,tá an Tiarna leat.Is beannaithe thú idir mnáAgus is beannaithe toradh do bhroinne, íosa.A Naomh-Mhuire, a Mháthair Dé,guigh orainn na peacaigh,Anois agus ar uair ár mbáis.
