Over fifty primary schools and almost 60 parishes from across Scotland are taking part in a pilot scheme for the Pope Francis FAITH Award which will help young people at the Primary 6 & 7 stages to use the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in their homes, schools and parishes. More than 1,000 young people and their parents have enrolled in the scheme in which they are asked to show that:
- they have used all the gifts of the Holy Spirit when showing love of God and love of others in their daily lives.
- with the support of others, they have reflected on how their actions have made an impact on their journey of faith
- they are playing their part in the life of the parish.
In the light of the pilot scheme, the award will be openend up to enrolments from all Catholic schools and parishes in Scotland.
