Whole School: Blessing of Mary in memory of Christine Wilson

Lesson: Religious education

Class: EYFS (F2) Reception Year: 2024 - 2025

On Wednesday 16th October we gathered as a school family to remember Christine Wilson with Father Peter Ross.

Christine was a much loved and valued member of St Basil's and a former Chair of Governors.

We also welcomed Jim Wilson and members of their family, as well as some close friends.

Father Peter led us in prayer and dedicated our new statue of Mary to the memory of Christine, significant particularly during this special month of October.

The children shared in the our liturgy with readings and prayers, as well as with their absolutely beautiful singing.

The occasion was a heartfelt tribute which warmed all of our hearts and provided a lasting memory to treasure.
