Fifty-five Primary 3 pupils celebrated their First Reconciliation in Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral on Tuesday 14th March. Fr Lamb and Fr Stephen were joined by Fr Keiran from St Brendan’s parish to hear the children’s confessions and a candle was lit for each pupil by their teacher as they stepped up into the sanctuary to celebrate the sacrament.
Despite a few initial nerves, the children did themselves, their parents and their teachers proud, and there was barely a dry eye in the church as they closed the liturgy with a beautiful and prayerful thanksgiving hymn, ‘When I think about the cross’.
We keep the children in our prayers as they continue on their journey of faith.
