On Thursday 31st May P7 travelled to Whithorn accompanied by P7 children from St Teresa’s, St Joseph’s, St Columbas and St Ninian’s Catholic Primary schools for a very special pilgrimage and mass at St Ninian’s Cave, Whithorn. The weather was perfect, thankfully not too hot to have to worry about sun burn, but nice enough for a paddle in the sea after mass.
The mass conducted by Father Jim and Father Gerald was very special. Many of our pupils took part in the prayers and readings and the mass itself began just along from the car park and finished with communion at the cave. It was really nice to have Father Jim accompanying us on the guitar and sharing some very special moments of prayer with us.
The final treat for everyone was a well-deserved stop at the café in Whithorn where the children were kindly treated to a hot filled roll and a can of juice. A few people needed a good sleep on the bus on our journey home after all that fresh air and heat. All the boys and girls were a credit to themselves, I was very proud of their excellent behaviour and the way they conducted themselves. We all had a lovely time together. Here are a few photos of the day!
