Gallen CS welcomed Bishop Francis Duffy, who is one of the Patrons of our school, on Thursday last. A very reverential prayer service took place on the theme of Friendship with all the school present. Some first year students ended the prayer service with a Liturgical mine. Bishop Francis spoke of how important it is to be proud of your school and its identity citing Gallen’s recent successes in football , basketball , rugby , Scor and our Musical. Bishop Francis spoke of the importance of working hard at school and being a good christian and a good friend. Bishop Francis later chatted with members of the student council, school choir, staff and concluded his visit with a visit to meet the staff and students in our Cluny Centre.
