Forgiveness
We recognise that Forgiveness is not easy and reflect on how we can ask for and receive Forgiveness. Asking for Forgiveness and granting it can help both people to feel better. On this page you will find lots of links to resources and ideas to help you explore and reflect on the value of Forgiveness. You will also see many examples of this value in action at St Mary's.
