It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Sacristan Brigid Weir.

Bridgie passed away after a very brief illness on 5th March.

Bridgie served as Sacristan in Mornington for more than 60 years.

She offered her life to the Church, School and Community, and gave herself selflessly and tirelessly to the many organisations in which she was involved.

She both educated and inspired people.

She worked for 40 years in Donacarney School, 20 as a teacher and 20 as principal.

She promoted 'Faith' in our schools and from the very start of her work as a teacher gave herself locally and nationally.

Bridgie was one of the first 'lay' graduates from the Mater Dei Institute, Clonliffe in 1971. She later served on the Mater Dei Board of Governors. She also served two terms on the Governing body of St. Patrick's College of Education in Drumcondra and was a member of the Irish Bishop's Catechetical Commission. She was for many years a diocesan delegate to the Catholic Primary School Management Association.

In October 2023 Bishop Tom Deenihan conferred upon Bridgie the Papal Honour of Dame of the Order of St. Sylvester for her work in the Catholic Church and its affairs in the Diocese of Meath.

We extend our deepest sympathies to her brother Tommy, sister Kathleen, sister-in-law Bernadette, nephews John, Colm and David, niece Jenny, and extended relatives and friends.

May God Reward Her For Her Devoted Service.
