Until all have crossed, none have crossed and some we have to carry.
Honouring Pat Bishop
The late Pat Bishop - Trinity Cross-holder, historian, educator, artist and musician - has been identified as the upcoming honouree for the NGC National Heroes Project 2018.

About the NGC National Heroes Project
The NGC National Heroes Project was envisioned as an initiative to recognise and preserve the legacies of achievers and national contributors for future generations.
The project involves the curation of the lives of our indigenous heroes, chronicled and preserved in several forms and from which we can produce biographies, exhibitions, videos and publications. The legacies of these individuals will live on and be filtered into our schools and libraries so that future generations will have access to our heroes' stories.
NGC's Programme of Recognition
The elements of the programme of recognition depend on the person selected to be recognised, and his/her/their sphere of endeavour.
Recognition may include an Exhibition, Media Campaign, Publications, School Visits, Biographical Video or Commemorative Stamp.
Art Competition
Students have until September 7, 2018 to submit their original artwork that pertains to the theme “She Sells Sea Shells by the Sea Shore at Castle Killarney.”
