The Claddagh National School will mark the passing of Polish president Lech Kaczynski and the other victims of this week’s air disaster with a special Mass tomorrow (Friday ).
School principal Brendan Forde this week extended his sympathy on behalf of the school to the Polish people. “We are aware of the impact of his passing on the Polish community in Ireland and we pray that Poland and its people will find strength and healing in this difficult time,” he said.
Mr Kaczynski, his wife Maria Kaczynska, and several key political, military, and cultural figures were among the 96 people killed when their plane crashed in Russia earlier this week.
The Mass will take place tomorrow (Friday ) in St Mary’s Church, the Claddagh, at 10am.
