Friendship February

St Joseph’s Student Council would like to thank everyone for the amazing effort during our Friendship February initiative to promote kindness in our school.

First Confession – Ms Rochford’s 2nd
On Wednesday, 12th February, children from all 2nd classes made their First Confession with Fr. Flynn, Fr. Banville or Fr. Kehoe.
Father spoke with the children as did Net Ministries. We learned afresh about God’s love and why it is important to ask for His forgiveness for the times we do not live as we should.

The children were then split into groups headed by their team leader from Net Ministries. There, they undertook small group activities while waiting to make their Confession.

A big thank you to the priests and Net Ministries for making the ceremony so meaningful for the children.
Finally, take a look at the children’s lovely art work, completed as part of their preparation for their First Confession.
