On Thursday evening, Y6 gathered together for their commitment service. They were joined by their families and sponsors to support them during the preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Our Y6 children took part in a Confirmation Retreat today. They started the day by attending the Service of the Word amongst the parish. They then went on to discuss the Gifts and the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, reflecting particularly on the gifts they felt they needed most in their lives after examining their conscience and their actions.
They paused at midday to be led in the Angelus by our Liturgy Leads before discussing the parts of the service and the symbols associated with the Sacrament of Confirmation.
They ended their retreat day by attending Benediction at church with Deacon Tim.

The Season of Creation
We have researched our new class saint, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and found out lots of information about his early life, works and his patronages. We hope that he will watch over us during the course of this year and help us on this very important part of our faith journey.
We look forward to sharing our faith journey with you this year
