Pastoral Centre Belfast hits the ground running

The De La Salle Pastoral Centre, Belfast has hit the ground running this year. We’ve enjoyed having the company of Post-Primary students participating in our retreats and the feedback has been very encouraging.

Comments from Year 14 Students (17/18 year olds)

·         I learned to always be kind to others and I want to remember everyone has a quality

·         I learned about kindness and God

·         I learned about good qualities and that my qualities are very important

·         I liked the deep talks because it really made me think deeply about what life means

·         Making the poster made me notice some other people.

·         I enjoyed the meditation and the discussions with classmates that we would normally avoid

Year 11 boys are saying:

·         I was able to find out more about Jesus and how to find him.

·         Friendship and kindness

·         A candle can represent God’s presence

·         I enjoyed when me and my group talked about right, wrong and depends because it was fun and showed how some of my classmates viewed certain situations.
