Our school is served by the parish of Our Lady and St. Anne’s and we have a very close working relationship with Fr O’Farrell, the parish priest. We visit the church regularly and enjoy celebrating mass with the community and parishioners. Our Primary 6 and 7 pupils work particularly closely with Fr O’Farrell as they undertake the Pope Francis Award. We also work in partnership with St. Elizabeth’s Primary School and our pupils come together to celebrate Sacraments, school masses and other important occasions.
Throughout the year, pupils who are Baptised, prepare for and receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation. We work closely with parents, families, Fr O'Farrell and St. Elizabeth's to ensure that children are ready for these important events. If you have any questions or concerns regarding any sacraments, please do not hesitiate to contact Fr O'Farrell or Mrs McLean.
