Notre Dame High School Cluster, Greenock

St. Mary’s Church in Greenock was filled with joy when the four schools of Notre Dame cluster came together for their annual Mass for Catholic Education Week.  Monsignor Denis Canon Carlin, Father Gerry McNellis and Father John Morrison concelebrated the Mass, with assistance from Deacon Don Keane. Pupils from Notre Dame High School and the three primary schools (All Saints, St Patrick’s and St Mary’s) played an active role in the Mass and all concerned felt that it was a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community of faith.  Following the service, refreshments were kindly laid on by volunteers from St. Mary’s parish.

St Mary’s Primary School, Greenock

Pupils from St. Mary’s Primary school in Greenock “Proclaimed the Joy of the Gospel” at Mass on Education Sunday. They shared examples of how their charity work and promotion of Fair Trade were helping those less fortunate than themselves. They also explained how Rights Respecting Schools and Restorative Practices helped them to develop a deeper understanding of how they were called by God to grow in love, justice and peace in their relationships with others. Finally, they shared their experience of the Pope Francis Faith Award and their commitment to carrying out faith actions at home, in school and within the parish.
