Confirmation Retreat

Pitter, patter! The rain was soft, but it was still there. We walked over to the Church, managing not to get too wet. As soon as we got to the Church we saw the Year 6 class from Saint Helena’s Catholic Primary School. There were also some other children from a variety of non-Catholic schools who were joining us. We were divided into groups, 1 to 8, these were the groups we completed activities in. 

Sister Kath, who was running the program, welcomed us in. After she talked about the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, we went off in groups to do the first activity. We had to sort information about Baptism and Confirmation into the correct headings. Then it was recess. 

After recess, we went back on the floor and talked about the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. We then did another activity that involved matching the Fruits of the Holy Spirit with their meaning. Finally, it was lunch and we were very lucky to have a sausage sizzle, that was provided by the Parish.

At the end of the day we had a small Liturgy. Then we walked very quickly back to school, so we didn’t get too drenched!
