Primary 4 Mass of Thanksgiving

Primary 4 First Communion Mass of Thanksgiving 2015

The Mass of Thanksgiving will take place in St Joseph’s Church, Clarkston on Tuesday 2nd June at 7pm.

All Primary 4 pupils and their families are welcome to attend, regardless of whether they received the Sacrament or not. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to join together to give thanks for the very special and successful year that Primary 4 have enjoyed.

On the evening, children should sit with their families. We ask that P4 children sit at the end of the row to enable them to come up easily to receive their First Communion Certificate from Father Jim during the Mass. As this is an informal occasion, school uniform need not be worn.

We look forward to seeing you then.

Visit from Bishop John Keenan

On Thursday 12th June, we welcomed Bishop John Keenan to Our Lady of the Missions. He visited Primary 7 and shared an uplifting assembly with them. He then visited children in Primary 4 who have recently received the Sacrament of the Eucharist and talked about their special day. We look forward to working closely with Bishop John as we journey together in faith.

Maher Project

Sr Lucy Kurien, a Catholic nun who founded and runs the Maher Project in India for disadvantaged women and children, visited our school on September 9th to tell us about all the work that she does. Sr Lucy collected a cheque for £1000 which we raised by bringing a donation, on our school Feast Day, to dress in our own clothes!  A huge thank you to everyone for such a marvellous response.
