Today, we made and launched paper boats to mark the beginning of the Jubilee Year 'Pilgrims of hope'. We decorated the boats and wrote messages and prayers of hope. During the launch we had some reflection/prayer time thinking about our hopes for the future.
This morning, we held an assembly to celebrate the launch day for the Jubilee Year 'Pilgrims of hope'. Pope Francis has asked us to celebrate this year with deep faith, lively hope and active charity.
