P4 enjoyed their visit from Bishop Frank Dougan last Thursday. We were able to ask Bishop Frank lots of questions about being a Bishop and what it involves.
We spoke about the Sacrament of Confirmation and afterwards we were excited to see some of the special clothing a Bishop wears. P4 pupils were able to try on the ceremonial hats such as a miter and our particular class favourite – The bishop’s zucchetto, which is a purple skullcap. We also looked at the pontifical ring which we learned is always worn on the Bishop’s right hand, as well as his cross and Bishop’s crosier (symbolically shaped like a shepherd’s staff).
