On Wednesday, Mrs B and Mr Foy’s P7’s joined the confirmation classes from St Mary’s Maguiresbridge and The Bunscoil for a retreat to the sacred Lough Derg.
The children enjoyed a tranquil and peaceful journey across the water via boat and listened to the history of the island and its purpose.
The children engaged in prayer and reflection, especially on the recent receiving of the Holy Spirit and how the children can use the gifts and fruits in their every day lives. They also completed crafts during their time on the island and created and decorated their own personal prayer jars. This was followed by a visit to the gift shop before setting sail across the water to get the bus home.
An enjoyable day was had by all!
