Pupils, teachers and parents at St Elmo Primary School in Valletta recently attended a celebration to inaugurate a niche dedicated to our Our Lady of Lourdes in the school yard.

The celebration formed part of the 150th anniversary celebrations marking the Madonna's first appearance in Lourdes.

Gozo Bishop Mario Grech and Archbishop Emeritus Paul Giglio attended the event during which Year 4 pupils presented a play called Bernardette.

The niche was an initiative of a group of school teachers, while the funds were collected by school children, parents, teachers and other benefactors.
