St Bernard’s School, Brooklyn, Wellington, celebrated a wonderful day last December with Fr Doug Shepherd baptising nine students, including three siblings. Principal Mrs Small was particularly proud to be godmother to one of the boys and to see one of the girls wearing her own First Communion dress for the day. ‘All nine students are thrilled to now say they are members of the Catholic Church and the older ones are looking forward to working towards receiving further Sacraments later this year,’ said Mrs Small. ‘It was a special honour for the school community to be able to share in such a holy day.’ Photo: Supplied
