Everybody in FCJ is heartbroken with the loss of our friend, Rory Shortall (Colm 2). Although the outpouring of grief has been tough to navigate over the past few days in our school, it is a testament to the type of young fellow Rory was. In between the tears, our students recalled all the great moments they had with Rory. How he would always have a smile on his face, that he’d never pass you by without saying hello and ultimately his unwavering kind nature. He was never found without his huge circle of friends, the lads. Everyday below in the astro at break and lunch, pucking the ball, laughing, joking, and bursting with his signature charisma. We will never forget Rory, and in fact, this is how we will remember him.![]()

On behalf of the entire FCJ community we want to express our heartfelt condolences to his big brother Dara (Bríd 4), to his parents, Kay and Peter, and to his younger sister, Aoife. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.![]()

Tomorrow FCJ will conduct a guard of honour at Rory’s funeral. If students would like to take part, we ask that you meet us in the playground in Ballindaggan in the morning at 11.30am. We ask the students taking part to wear your full school uniform.
