Blog Week beginning 7th May
St Brendan’s Weekly News
Welcome back to our Weekly Blog with our exciting news and learning experiences from our pupils.
Take a look at the exciting learning experiences our pupils have been involved in over the past week!
Habemus Papum!
Everyone at St. Brendan’s Primary would like to pray for our new Pope Leo XIV.
Faithful God,
You guide us on the path of life
and your goodness is our constant companion.
Be with our new Shepherd, Pope Leo XIV,
in his service of the Church.
Fill him with the power of your Spirit,
the peace of your presence
and the compassion of Christ.
May he walk with you,
in wisdom and humility,
and lead us, together with all God’s people,
to embody your love for the world.
Amen.
Month of Mary – May Devotions
To mark the start of May, to honour our Blessed Mother our pupils alongside their teachers have been participating in praying a decade of the rosary daily.
We ask you to remember our Blessed Mother Mary in praying the May devotions.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
An invitation is extended to all our St Brendan’s community as our school leads the evening rosary in Carfin Grotto on Thursday 15th of May at 8pm. We would love to see you there to gather in prayer.
In-service Day – Pilgrimage
To mark the theme for Jubilee 2025: “Pilgrims of hope” our staff gathered alongside St. Bernadette’s Primary school at Carfin Grotto on Tuesday afternoon. During the Jubilee year, everyone at St. Brendan’s will be taking inspiration from the late Holy Father Pope Francis’ prayer intentions, looking for signs of hope in all corners and aspects of our faith life and our global Church.
We gathered in the glass chapel for a lovely service from Father Paul Denney of St James’, Coatbridge.
Wear Yellow Walk
Pupils returned to Strathclyde Park full of energy and enthusiasm for our annual Wear Yellow Walk, taking on one lap around the loch in support of St. Andrew’s Hospice. Dressed brightly in yellow, they walked together in the sunshine, showing community spirit and raising awareness with every step. It was a joyful and memorable day for everyone involved.
EuroQuiz
Euroquiz is an annual project open to all P6 pupils across Scotland. This week our team from St. Brendan’s took part in a team of four working together to broaden their knowledge of Europe and the wider world. Subjects covered include languages, history, geography, culture and European affairs.
Stay tuned to find out how our pupils got on and if we manage to progress to the National Euroquiz Final in June.
