Today we watched the ordination of the New Bishop Bosco who was appointed as the tenth Bishop of Clifton. We enjoyed looking for all of the different symbols eg, the ring, Mitre and Pastoral staff (Crozier). We also talked about the the 'Book of the Gospels' and the 'Cathedra' which is the raised throne like chair that the new Bishop sits on. We were very excited to spot a familiar face which was Fr Paul in amongst all of the priests!
