To mark the feast day of Saint Brigid on 1st February, Mrs Kearney's class enjoyed hearing the story of St. Brigid's cloak and learning many facts about the patron saint of Ireland. They worked hard in pairs and small groups to design vibrant posters all about St. Brigid that they could use to teach to the younger pupils in our school.
Prayer to Saint Brigid
Saint Brigid.
You were a woman of peace.
You brought harmony where there was conflict.
You brought light to the darkness.
You brought hope to the downcast.
May the mantle of your peace cover those who are troubled
and anxious, and may peace be firmly rooted in our hearts
and in our world.
Inspire us to act justly and to reverence all God has made.
Brigid, you were a voice for the wounded and the weary.
Strengthen what is weak within us.
Calm us into a quietness that heals and listens.
May we grow each day into greater wholeness in mind,
body and spirit.
Amen.
