As always, the pupils were creative and entertaining in their presentations and managed to re-enact the parables of Jesus with a modern, 21st century twist encouraging one another to be the \u201cGood News\u201d of God\u2019s love today. Well done to all those who participated and shared in both retreat days and a huge thank you to Fr. John for all his work for both days and for all his support and help throughout the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second week in December saw two retreat days for our senior pupils here in Lourdes Secondary: S6 \u2013 Monday 10 December and S5 \u2013 Friday 14 December.
