We are very proud of our P7 pupils who worked hard to prepare for their Service of Light Ceremony. It is the first stage in their preparation for Confimation and symbolises the handing on of faith.
At baptism their parents lit the baptismal candle from the paschal candle, a sign that they were willing to hand on their faith to their child. In the same way, at the service of light, parents once again lit their child’s baptismal candle from the paschal candle and handed it to their child; in doing so parents promised to help and support their child, agreeing together with their child, to keep the light of faith burning in all of their lives.
Thanks to the P4-6 children who added to the atmosphere with their beautiful singing and to Fr Kearney for the lovely service.
