On the 21st of January, 5th and 6th class had their Service of Light. They were going over their prayers. They were also practicing with their class teachers the songs:
- Christ be our Light,
- Spirit of the Living God and
- Colours of Day.
Drimoleague were accompanied by Drinagh, Derryclough and Castledonovan. The Service of Light was held in the Drinagh Church.
On the night, children brought their Baptismal Candles. The parents brought the Baptismal Candle to the altar. Fr. Liam lit those candles with the Paschal Candle (a sacred candle with 5 incenses to represent the 5 wounds of Jesus).
The parents then brought the lit Baptismal Candle down to their child. The children simultaneously blew out their candles.
