End of Term Mass

On Thursday of this week we celebrated the end of term Mass for all the children at our Primary School.

Our children were impeccably behaved from the moment they arrived at church, during and after the Mass. Although the Mass was a 'Christmas Mass' Father Francis wanted to keep the theme of Advent and waiting before the children. He did this by talking before Mass started about preparation: preparing to come to school, preparing the church for Mass, preparing our homes with decorations and preparng our hearts to receive Christ.

To emphasise the preparation needed for Mass Father Francis put on his vestments in front of the children and explained what each item was. [Amice, Alb, Cincture, Stole, Maniple and Chasuble].

Once vested for Mass the children stood to sing the opening hymn 'O Mary, when our God chose you ' and Father processed to the altar.

Now that our children are on holiday may I take this opportunity to thank our staff and parents for all that they have contributed to the school year so far. I hope you all have a very happy and Holy Christmas.

Happy Christmas
