Carols by Candlelight

Carols by candlelight is a carol service hosted by the Royal
School Cavan in Cavan Parish Church. The whole service is,
of course, held under candlelight. This night was a success
through the hard work and dedication contributed by all who
were involved in the wonderful ceremony.
The night started with the students entering the doors of the
Church and walking down the aisle whilst handing out Candles
to the congregation .The choir accompanied Kelly Cartwright
on the chorus of “Go light your World”.

The night then proceeded with a number of student singing the hearts out for
the congregation with solo pieces from Danny McKeon, Kelly Cartwright, Abigael
Pierce, Jodie Chapman, Maria Lynch, Connor Blaney, Iona Ward, Kate Agaba and
Esther Olujitan.
One of the highlights of the night was Cavan No.1 accompanying the Royal School
on “Silent Night”. The service was a truly magnificent experience, with details
like spraying fake snow down upon the pews, the flower arrangements and the
many candles around the whole Cathedral which added to the warm and magical
atmosphere.
Northern Sound was also there to record our lovely service, which aired on Northern
Sound on the 24th of December. All of this of course was achievable with the help of
students, staff and of course, Miss Kavanagh and Miss Tackney.
