Father Explains The Chalice and Ciborium

Today ,for the very first time, both schools in the Parish came together for a Joint Day of Retreat in our Church Hall. Communicants from P4 St Elizabeth`s and Our Lady and St Anne`s  prepared for their forthcoming Holy Eucharist Sacrament through Scripture Tasks, Song ,Sacramental Scenarios and fun. The local Homeless Unit also came along to collect the non-perishable foods the children had brought as their Sacramental Offering. Father O Farrell(Our Parish Priest) helped the children  better understand the Consecration then led them through Exposition of The Blessed Sacrament in Church with many families in attendance. Lunch was enjoyed in the sunshine in Our Lady and St Anne`s  School Yard . Lots of spiritual preparation and lots of new friendships too and yes the sun shone too !
