To everyone who supported CBC’s Darkness Into Light,
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Whether you walked with us, donated, volunteered, spread the word, or supported in any way, your compassion and commitment made the event truly special.

We’re incredibly proud to share that together, we’ve raised over €11,000 so far, which is a remarkable achievement that will go directly towards supporting life-saving mental health services.

A heartfelt thank you to every single donor, individual, family and community group who gave so generously. Your support is already making a real difference.

To our amazing student, teacher and parent volunteers and organisers who gave their time, energy, and care, thank you. Your behind-the-scenes work made everything possible.

And to the dedicated team at Pieta House, thank you for the vital work you do every day. It is a privilege to walk beside you and help carry the message of hope forward.

This event was more than a walk. It was a moment of unity and remembrance, Thank you all for being part of something so meaningful.

Let’s continue to keep the light shining and we look forward to seeing you all again next year!

With deepest gratitude,
CBC Monkstown DIL Team💛

Every euro raised makes a real difference, and your kindness is helping to bring hope into the lives of so many who need it most. Thank you for walking with us — in every sense of the word.

Just a quick reminder:

See you all very soon!

Walking Together in Remembrance and Hope - Saturday 10th of May 4:15am

The Darkness Into Light Walk is more than just an early morning event it is a powerful symbol of hope, healing, and support. As we step forward together, we honor those we have lost, support those who are struggling, and stand in solidarity with one another.

As a school community we are using this moment to remember, reflect, and unite, offering strength in times of sadness and reminding ourselves of the importance of kindness, compassion, and connection.


Our route will take us through the streets of Monkstown and Dún Laoghaire, covering approximately 5km. As we walk in the quiet of the early morning, we will witness the transition from darkness to light, a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, hope and support are always within reach.


Pieta House provides free, professional services to individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts and self-harm, as well as support for families affected by suicide. By participating in this walk, we not only raise awareness but also contribute to the life-saving work they do every day.


We encourage everyone from students, families, teachers, past pupils, and friends to take part. Whether you walk to remember a loved one, to support someone in need, or simply to be part of this special moment, your presence matters.

After the walk, we invite all participants to join us in the school hall, where the Parents’ Council and Student Council will provide refreshments. This will be a chance to gather, reflect, and connect with others in the community.

Come join us from 04:15am on Saturday the 10th of May
Let’s come together as a CBC community to bring light into the darkness. We look forward to seeing you there!
