CCP: Class Mass and St Leo the Great.

Class Mass and St Leo the Great

This week, pupils at Cathedral Catholic Primary School enjoyed spending time with Father Steve who celebrated Mass with the Year 6 children and teachers in their classroom on the feast of St Leo the Great. Father Steve told the children all about the life of St Leo and what we can learn from him. It is wonderful to celebrate the Sacrament of the Eucharist in school and we appreciate the time our priests give us to help us prepare and celebrate this important part of our faith.

To learn more about Pope St Leo the Great you may want to watch the following short video which includes some words which seem very apt as COP 26 comes to an end and we take time to think about what we can do to see the wonders of creation.


From a sermon by St Leo the Great given on Christmas day:
Rouse yourself and recognise the dignity of your nature remember that you were made in God's image, use creatures as they should be used, the earth, the sea, the sky, the air, the springs and the rivers give praise and glory to their creator for all that you find beautiful and wonderful within them.

He says we should see not just with our physical eyes but with eyes of our soul.
