Finding out about St. Chad's Cathedral

Today, all the children in Year 6 visited St. Chad's Cathedral as part of our Confirmation preparation.

In our groups we had the opportunity to have a tour - including St. Edward's chapel and the crypt. We also had the chance to celebrate a mass where Year 6 led the liturgy.

We really enjoyed finding out about the story of St. Chad and where his relics are kept. We also spotted where the cathedral was hit by a bomb during the Blitz - it is amazingly lucky that St. Chad's was not destroyed!
