The Pope Francis FAITH AWARD is an award of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland, designed to help children to show “signs of love” in their daily lives and to be active members of their local Church. It invites young people at the Primary 6 and 7 stages to use the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and to see how they can bear fruit in their homes, schools and parishes. It is directly connected to what young people are learning about the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Currently there are around 35 pupils in St Ignatius PS taking part in this award.
To support your child as they participate in this Faith Award you can:
- encouraging your child to complete their chosen Faith actions at home
- Support him/her as they report on the completion of the Faith actions at home
- accompanying your child (if Catholic) to Mass in the local parish.
