Brothers join St Illtyd’s for centenary dinner

Dec 11

Brothers from the District of Ireland, Great Britain and Malta were the special guests of St Illtyd’s Catholic High School for the school's centenary dinner at the Presidents lounge at the Principality stadium.

Over a hundred guests attended to celebrate this landmark in the school's history. Brothers Michael and Ben represented the De La Salle Order and were joined by Father Alexander and Father Sebastian, of the Oratory. Father Sebastian, himself an Old Illtydian, led us in prayer.

Nearly every decade was represented either through staff or pupils and it was wonderful to hear them recount their schooldays - from the time of the Brothers to the merger with Heathfield House and beyond. Mr Phil Steele was asking the questions and compèred the evening expertly. Our thanks to him.

A special mention to the 59’ers who turned up en masse and also to Michael Worthington, Josephine Affley, Ken Poole and John Manders for organising and making the night such a success. Thank you as well to all who attended. It was a great evening full of laughter with much to celebrate - here's to the next hundred!
