Confirmation for P7 Holy Cross Primary Pupils Confirmation Enrolment took place last weekend. Preparation Events continue this weekend at the end of each Mass (Vigil 6pm; 9.30am & 11.40am). A number of P7 Pupils asked for some of Pope Francis’ words to young people (from Christus Vivit n. 122) to which Fr Joe referred last week:
“Young people, beloved of the Lord, how valuable must you be if you were redeemed by the precious blood of Christ! Dear young people, ‘you are priceless! You are not up for sale! Please, do not let yourselves be bought. Do not let yourselves be seduced. Do not let yourselves be enslaved by forms of ideological colonization that put ideas in your heads, with the result that you end up becoming slaves, addicts, failures in life. You are priceless. You must repeat this always: I am not up for sale; I do not have a price. I am free! Fall in love with this freedom, which is what Jesus offers’.”

His Father, also John McColl was shot in the leg (the family still has the bullet!) and then taken prisoner during 1939- 45 War.
