YOUNGSTERS enjoyed a celebration of their school’s Patron Saint with some Irish-themed fun.

St Patrick’s Primary School in Cumnock took part in the festivities on St Patrick’s Day.

Father Philip Kitchen came into the school for a celebratory Mass, before the children took part in various activities.

Pupils coloured in four-leaf clovers and made some brilliant leprechaun masks to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland and their school.

Scotland is in lockdown, shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We’re not exaggerating when we say that the future of the Cumnock Chronicle, and the vital local news service we’ve provided since 1901 is under threat.

Please consider supporting the Cumnock Chronicle  in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you’re shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.

Thanks - and stay safe.
