Lily Procession
The lead-up to Christmas is a very busy time in Chapel, and traditionally begins with our annual Lily Procession. This is held at the same time each year to honour Mary, mother of Jesus – Mater Admirabilis – who, throughout her life showed great strength and courage in the face of adversity. We learn from Mary by putting our trust in God’s plan for us, and having the courage to stand by our beliefs and values even when they differ from societal norms.
The Lily Procession is something that is very special to all Kilgraston girls, past and present and it is always an honour to welcome back previous Kilgraston girls. This year we welcomed back Amanda Melville who left Kilgraston in 1995, Amanda commented that the last time she had been in the Kilgraston Chapel was for her wedding at the school in 2008.
Over a hundred girls were involved in the Lily Procession and as they surrounded the Chapel with candlelight singing in Latin you couldn’t help but be moved.
