P4 - First Confession

6th Mar 2026

Our Primary 4 pupils celebrated their Sacrament of First Confession yesterday. In preparation, the children reflected on the story of The Lost Sheep, thinking about how we can sometimes be like the lost sheep, wandering off the right path, making unkind choices, and forgetting to be the people God calls us to be.

Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the children learned about the importance of saying sorry, making good choices, and knowing that God always welcomes us back with love and forgiveness.

After the ceremony, the pupils returned to school where they enjoyed a well‑deserved hot chocolate and marshmallow treat to celebrate this special milestone in their faith journey.
