As it is Catholic Schools Week, we were delighted to welcome Fr Pat from St Pius X to the oratory on Monday, where the Le Chéile Council had a chat with him about religion, the church, the role of woman in the church and his own role as a priest in the community. It was a relaxed, engaging and most thought provoking session!
