Catholic Education Week 2014 – Shining the Light of Faith Celebration
On Thursday, 27th February the whole school celebrated Catholic Education Week in St. Martin’s RC
Church. The afternoon was a great success! We invited along parents, friends and parishioners to celebrate with us. The pupils of Primary 7 led the service but were assisted by representatives from all the other classes.
The church was decorated with posters that were individually designed by every class from Primary 1 to Primary 7 . Also, keeping with the
theme of ‘Shining the light of Faith’ the church was filled with the light from tealights and candles. As the pupils entered the church they each carried their own LED candle to add to the brightness. Everyone joined in
enthusiastically with the prayers, readings and hymns. It was truly a celebration filled with light and joy and enjoyed by everyone: pupils, staff, parents, friends and parishioners.
Back in school the celebration continued with all the pupils and adults (staff and guests) having a treat of tea, coffee or juice and cakes! We are now looking forward to next year!
