We were very excited to welcome Archbishop Leo Cushley and Fr Tony Lappin to celebrate Mass with us on 1st February to mark our school’s 40th Anniversary. It was a beautiful Mass, very prayerful and filled with joy. We celebrated St Ninian’s past and present, involving various members of our school community in the liturgy making the celebration a meaningful and memorable occasion in the history of the school.
All of the children were fantastic and participated so well. I was very proud of them all. I was also delighted that our school brass band provided music for the Mass. They were impressive and I was grateful to Mrs Downs for preparing them so well. We were joined by some of our former pupils and some special guests who have all made a great contribution to our school over the years.
During the Mass everyone was given the gift of a St Ninian’s prayer card, produced by some of our pupils especially for the 40th anniversary. Archbishop Cushley referred to the prayer card during his inspirational Homily. He reminded the children about the importance of prayer in their lives as way of growing closer to God and each other. It was so very special to have him lead us in prayer using our own school prayer.
I am very proud to be the Headteacher of St Ninian’s and to be part of such an inspirational school family!
A beautiful mass for a very special school family. 💚💛
