St Fintan's High School: Walking Towards Hope: Darkness into Light 2024

Shedding Light on Mental Health

In the quiet stillness of early morning, as the sun begins to rise, there's a profound sense of hope. It's a time when the world is waking up, and for those who have experienced the darkness of mental health struggles, it's a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there's always the promise of light.

On behalf of Pieta House, we at St Fintan's High School invite you to donate towards our annual charity fundraiser, Darkness into Light. This event isn't just about walking; it's about coming together as a community to show our support for those affected by suicide and self-harm. It's about shedding light on mental health issues that often remain hidden in the shadows. And most importantly, it's about offering hope to those who need it most.

Organised by our dedicated Prefects and our Senior Hurling Team, and led by teachers, Sandra Guinan and Peter Ryan, Darkness into Light is more than just a fundraiser--it's a movement. It's a testament to the power of unity and compassion in the face of adversity.

Why We Walk

Each step we take during Darkness into Light represents a step towards healing and understanding for the young men with particular attention to those in our school. It's a symbolic journey from darkness into light, from despair to hope. Suicide and self-harm affect individuals and communities in profound ways, leaving behind heartache and unanswered questions. But by coming together to raise awareness and support for organisations like Pieta House, we can make a difference.

Pieta House is a beacon of hope for those struggling with their mental health. Through their counseling services and support programs, they provide a lifeline for individuals in crisis. By participating in Darkness into Light, we're not only raising vital funds for Pieta House, but we're also sending a message of solidarity to those young men in our school who may be struggling in silence: you are not alone, and there is help available.

How You Can Get Involved

Show your support by spreading the word about St Fintan's High School's fundraiser for Darkness into Light on your WhatsApp Groups / social media or making a donation to our fundraising efforts. Every little bit helps in the fight against suicide and self-harm.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

Let's show support for our boys walking together, for hope, for healing, and for a brighter tomorrow.
