As part of their RME topic of \u2018Christianity in our Community\u2019, Leswalt Primary School\u2019s P5-7 visited St.Joseph\u2019s Church in Stranraer \u00a0and met with the Priest, Father Neil O\u2019Donnell and Deacon Peter Marks.<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
The pupils came along with lots of questions about what the job of a priest entails, and about the churches role in the community.<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
They learnt about the clothing the priest wears for different services and at different times of the year. They found out about the artefacts in the church and what they were used for. They were able to compare St.Joseph\u2019s to Leswalt Parish Church, which they visited earlier in the term.<\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/address>\n
It was both a very informative and enjoyable experience for the pupils.\u00a0 As Rhona Baillie in P6 said \u201c St Josephs is beautiful inside.\u00a0 I love all the marble.\u00a0 I learned a lot, as I had never been there before\u201d<\/address>\n
