De La Salle Retreat Belfast: St. Joseph's Primary School

We loved having the young people from St. Joseph's. We had a great time talking to the different classes about confirmation and how they feel about making this sacrament. During our groups we participated in fun activities, and we also had the opportunity to play games and enjoy ourselves.
