Today, with open arms, we extended a warm welcome to the Year 5 students from SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy as they joined us for a sacred liturgy. They explored our peace garden, resonating with its serene tranquility. Following this, we welcomed them into our chapel, where the tranquil ambience embraced their spirits.
A few of our transition ambassadors accompanied the Year 5 students during their liturgy, engaging them in insightful conversations about the nuances of school life and offering invaluable perspectives on the transition to secondary school. Through these meaningful exchanges, our ambassadors imparted wisdom and reassurance, fostering a sense of camaraderie and easing any apprehensions students may have had about their impending journey to the next chapter.
Year 5 showcased their profound understanding and reverence for the Catholic faith as they took the helm in leading the liturgy with exemplary grace and respect. Their deep-rooted knowledge shone through each carefully chosen word and gesture, guiding the congregation on a spiritually enriching journey. United in heart and spirit, everyone wholeheartedly participated in the collective prayers and uplifting melodies, forging bonds of unity and devotion within our community.
Amidst the solemnity of their liturgy, the Year 5 students paused to express heartfelt gratitude to their mothers, crafting poignant prayers that echoed their love and appreciation. With reverence, they tenderly placed these written tributes beneath the benevolent gaze of Mary, entreating her intercession and guidance. In this sacred act, they honoured not only their maternal figures but also invoked the maternal compassion and wisdom embodied by the Blessed Mother, seeking solace and blessings for their families.
Thank you Year 5 students of SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy for your poignant and uplifting liturgy. Your devotion and reverence illuminated our hearts, leaving an indelible mark on our spirits. Thank you for sharing your faith and enriching our community with your beautiful celebration.
