POPE FRANCIS FAITH AWARD
"How beautiful it would be if each of you, every evening, could say: “Today at school, at home, at work, guided by God, I showed a sign of love towards one of my friends, my parents, an older person!” Pope Francis
The Pope Francis FAITH AWARD is an award of the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland, designed to help children to show “signs of love” in their daily lives and to be active members of their local Church. It invites young people at the Primary 6 and 7 stages to use the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and to see how they can bear fruit in their homes, schools and parishes. It is directly connected to what young people are learning about the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Our school is part of the pilot scheme launching this award in Scotland. Our Primary 6 and 7 pupils are enjoying being given the privilege of taking part and wear their yellow Pope Francis wristbands with pride.
