Celebration time at school for deaf boys

ST JOSEPH’S School for Deaf Boys in Cabra, Dublin, is this year celebrating the 150th anniversary of its foundation in 1857.

Our Deaf Heritage Centre is publishing a celebratory book, which will be launched by President Mary McAleese on Friday, October 19.

On the following day we are holding a dinner dance in City West Hotel, Saggart, Co Dublin. Tickets are available at the school address for €75 each.

For further information about the schedule of events, please contact [e-mail]

We are asking readers to pass on this information to past pupils, former schoolmates or family members so that as many people as possible are aware of the occasion. We regard it as an exciting opportunity to renew old friendships and to be part of a unique celebration.
