Primary 7 pupils spent a day on retreat on Tuesday 14th November in preparation for celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation. The children began the day with Mass in the cathedral before heading over to St Bride’s Hall for several activities delivered by senior pupils from Our Lady’s High School who are working towards their Caritas award. In the first activity, the children designed a poster on the seven Gifts of the Spirit; in the second, they made a prayer wind chime; the third invited them to reflect on what makes them unique. Following input from Fr Lamb, the children returned to the cathedral for a time of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.

Cathedral pupils will celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation on Monday 27th November. Please keep the boys and girls in your prayers in these final days of preparation.
