\"\"Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral Primary School marked a historic milestone on Tuesday 20th May with a special Mass in Motherwell Cathedral to celebrate the school\u2019s 150th anniversary.<\/p>\n

The Mass, led by Bishop Toal, was a highlight of a year-long programme of commemorative events and included the debut performance of the Mass of Jesus the Teacher \u2013 a new Mass setting composed by Head Teacher, Mr Young, and dedicated to pupils and staff of Cathedral Primary, past and present. Sung by the school\u2019s choir, the music added a deeply personal and moving element to the celebration.<\/p>\n

Following the Mass, historic stones from the school\u2019s original 1895 building were formally dedicated in their new location within the Cathedral grounds. Guests then visited a fascinating exhibition in St Bride\u2019s Hall, curated by Primary 7 pupils, which traces the proud history of the school from 1875 to the present day.<\/p>\n

Provost Kenneth Duffy, who attended the Mass, said: \u201cThis was a truly special celebration, and expertly organised by Mr Young and his staff, of a school that has played a central role in the Motherwell community for generations. My warmest\u00a0congratulations\u00a0go to the entire school community, past and present, on 150 years of faith, learning, and service.\u201d\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
