On Thursday 15th March 2007, all members of Year 7 were given the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, as part of the school’s Lenten preparation. The School theme for the year is “Back to the Father” which ties in well with the theme of “Repentance and Reconciliation” for the second year of the Diocese of Leeds Come and See renewal process.
At the start of the morning, there was a reconciliation service for all of Year 7, led by Mr Russell, with readings by members of 7Fisher. Students were reminded of the story of the Prodigal Son, and of the importance of the Sacrament. After the service, four of our local priests, Canon Maguire, Fr McGeough, Fr Reilly and Fr Powell spent the morning at school, hearing confessions from students. The priests said afterwards that they were impressed with the honesty of the students, and the way that they had been prepared to receive the sacrament.
