St Bernadette's were delighted to be the first to receive one of the three ‘Our lady of Lourdes’ statues, which have begun their tours of Grace in the Centenary Year of the Diocese of Lancaster.

We welcomed Mrs Fran Wygladala, as a representative of the Diocese, into our whole school Celebration of the Word. We were also joined by Father David, who kindly blessed the statue. We processed with Our Lady to ‘As I kneel before you.' 

Mrs Sattertwhaite, Jacob ( Head Boy) and Jasmine ( Head Girl) made their way with the statue way to St Teresa's;  what a lovely welcome they received. 

The children all had time with our beautiful statue and work was pasted into a scrapbook which will accompany the statue to other Catholic schools.
