Confirmation Retreat
Today, 5th and 6th class went on their Confirmation Retreat to Knock. We were welcomed by Fr Fergal and the fabulous staff at Knock Shrine, who gave us a guided tour of the basilica and then the museum. The children were then encouraged to write of their hopes and dreams for the future and to share their intentions with God, in a guided prayerful
session with another member of staff.
After, Fr Fergal said mass for us and some of the children participated beautifully in the ceremony.
Each child was presented with a badge of a dove to remember the lovely day they had.
After mass we had lunch and the children enjoyed some surprise live music in the coffee shop.
A lovely day was had and the children were a credit to themselves, to their school and to their parents!
Many thanks to Fr Fergal for organising the day.
