Our trip to Christchurch Cathedral

On Thursday the 27^th of September the pupils of  5^th and 6^th classes at St Saviour’s  School  travelled to Dublin by bus to attend the Diocesan Schools’ Service to mark the beginning of a new school year.

Rev. Mark Bunting gave the sermon about using a one cent coin to help us to pray. It reminds us to concentrate, to pray for our country and for other countries in Europe. It also reminds us of all those who have very little. Some of the hymns sung were ‘Father I Place into your hands’ and ‘You Shall Go Out With Joy’. The collection was in aid of the Laura Lynn Childrens’ hospice and Christchurch Cathedral. The pupils of St. Andrew’s N.S. Lucan sang a hymn in Irish, and the pupils of Kildare Place N. S. Rathmines mimed the actions to another hymn.  The Archbishop of Dublin and Glendalough the Most Reverend Michael Jackson led the service. I think it is safe to say that everyone left the cathedral with happy faces.
