Celebrating the Sacraments

Our Junior School pupils had a very blessed Lent, with some receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time, and others celebrating their Confirmation. Primary 3 had a beautiful service on a sunny Saturday morning in our Hall for their First Reconciliation. Parents and carers took part, lighting candles for our young people as a symbol of their guidance in their children’s faith journey.

When our Primary 3s were preparing for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, they were reminded of God’s love for them, and we learned in class about how this love can encourage us to be better people. In our Manresa Oratory we had laid out special prayer buddy sheets, where children signed their name next to someone from Primary 3 - helping them know they are being prayed for by their friends from all over the Junior School.

In the newly refurbished St Aloysius’ Church (more pg. 3) - Primary 7 celebrated their Confirmation in a beautiful Mass with their friends and family present. We pray for all of our young people who are taking the next step in their faith journey
