On the 4th June we will be in Celtic Park to celebrate our annual Mass for our Year 7/6th Class pupils who have received the sacrament of Confirmation in the Diocese of Derry. This is the 20th Fan the Flame Mass. These resources will support schools in their preparation of the young people for this very special celebration of the Eucharist. The theme this year for the very colourful T-Shirts which the pupils design is “Serving Others with the Gifts God Has Given Me”. We look forward to seeing everyone in Celtic Park as we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the young people.
