Our Father Banner
To mark the 150th Anniversary of St Mary of the Isle the pupils at St Mary’s School have made the “Our Father” banner which is now hanging near the first Station of the Cross in St Mary’s .
The wall hanging is over eight feet square and has the words of Our Father.
Each pupil of the school, last year, made a letter for the banner. It’s a work of art.
