Blessing Our New â8â âLibermannâ Rowing Boat
Date : Wednesday, 31st January 2018
There was a huge gathering of parents, boys, coaches and staff at the Blessing and naming ceremony of the Rowing Clubâs new eightman boat in St Patrickâs Hallway on Wednesday evening, 31st January.
Fr Nash blessed the boat, named âLibermannâ, and all who will train and race in it. His prayers highlighted the exhilaration within the sport and the trinity of â3 Tâsâ â teamwork, timing and technique.
âMay this reflection prompt my faith, help me to recognise my dependence on You, my team and the need for confidence, in myself, whatever my endeavourâ.
Huge thanks must go to the sponsor MJ Flood and we were delighted that Michael Power, Managing Director, was on hand to address the attendees us and celebrate the arrival of âLibermannâ.
The Blackrock College Rowing Club continues to go from strength to strength. The commitment shown by the huge numbers now involved in the sport is visible through the energetic training sessions at Islandbridge that the boys take part in during the week and on Saturday mornings.
