Our new Primary 1 pupils were formally welcomed to Cathedral Primary School at a special Mass in the cathedral on Thursday 26th September. Following the opening hymn, ‘Jesus loves me, this I know’, Fr Lamb said a prayer of blessing over the children, asking God to be with them throughout their journey through Cathedral Primary.

Our ‘Ignite’ junior chaplains were commissioned during the course of the Mass and each received a Blessed Carlo Acutis medal and prayer card. Cathedral teachers also renewed their commitment to their vocation as Catholic educators in the presence of the school and parish community.

Pupils raised the roof with the closing hymn, ‘If I were a butterfly’, specially picked for our Primary 1 learners.

For you gave me a heart

and you gave me a smile;

you gave me Jesus

and you made me your child.

But I just thank you, Father,

for making me ME!
