Schools Packages

The popular story of The Prodigal Son is part of us all. During the day the young people will work together on drama and dance activities which can then be used for liturgies etc throughout the school/parish year. They will also look individually at their own experience of ‘saying sorry’, of being forgiven and how that actually can change things. Time will also be given to looking at choices and the impact their choices and decisions have on others around them.

• A package of work for KS II children or for those  preparing for First Holy Communion
