Our prayer display to honour Our Lady and remember Father John Bale
On Monday 24th September during our Gospel assembly we celebrated the Memorial of Our Lady of Walsingham. The children listened at how she had a appeared to a noble Lady who lived in Walsingham and asked her to re-create the house in Nazareth where Our Lady was born and where the Angel Gabriel told her that she would give birth to baby Jesus.
The children also prayed the prayer for priests as the church has asked us to do this year, we especially remembered our previous Parish Priest, who sadly died, Father John Bale as today is the day set aside to remember him and Fathers Emmanuel, Bengt and Louis as they all prepare to move Parishes.
Following our prayers the children helped to explain Sunday’s Gospel by acting out the parts of Jesus and the Disciples. The children were a great help in enabling us all to really understand that Jesus wants us to serve each other in his name and follow his example.
