On Tuesday 4th June, Year 3 visited Father Gary at St. Chad’s Church to find out more about the Christian faith. Father Gary talked to them about how he came to be a priest, different aspects of the church and different roles that he has within it.
The children really enjoyed looking at the various areas of the church such as the font, the Ladies Chapel and the lectern. We had a tour around the church to get a closer look at the beautiful art work, stained glass windows and the statues of religious figures.
Some of the children had a chance to try on some of Father Gary’s vestments, in which he delivers his Sunday services, weddings, funerals and services for different Christian festivals.
Our Griffins had a wonderful time discovering more about our beautiful, local church and we hope to see Father Gary very soon!
