Candlemas celebrates Jesus being presented at the Temple, 40 days after his birth. It is here when he meets Simeon who calls him “the light of the world”. Even in His early days, Jesus was seen as special. We decided to celebrate Candlemas at St Paulinus because our Mission Statement is “Inspiring all to live, learn and love in the light of Jesus” . We ask each one of our children to let their light shine, just as Jesus brought light and hope to our world.
