St Bartholomew’s received a lovely gift yesterday which has found a home in our oratory. Liam in Primary 2 and his family made a special trip to Rome last week and brought us back the framed papal blessing pictured below. This is now displayed on the wall as you enter the oratory and is a beautiful reminder that our wee school is part of the worldwide Catholic Church and that Pope Francis is praying daily for all of God’s people across the world… St Bart’s included!

As you know, our Festival of Faith is now only two days away. The children and staff have been busy producing special wall displays for Friday’s event and I thought I would give you a sneak preview of these over the next few days. Today’s displays were produced by Primary 6 and Primary 1.
