Today, we congratulated Harry, Elizabeth, Jude & Orla in a whole school assembly, as it was announced that they had been chosen to join our SLT, as our Head Boy/Girl and their Deputies.
We are so proud of each and everyone of them, and we know that they will be great ambassadors for our school; supporting the Governing Board, Mrs Finnegan, SLT and the School council, to follow our Mission Statement by bringing out the best in everyone, for the benefit of all, in the Spirit of Christ. Congratulations again; so proud!
Scripture is at the centre of everything the Church does. The word of God shapes our prayer and worship. The Bible shows us how to understand the world, how we are called to live and relate to each other.
2020 is the 10th anniversary of Verbum Domini – Pope Benedict XVI’s Apostolic Exhortation on ‘The Word of the Lord’ and the 1,600 anniversary of St Jerome’s death. These dates have inspired the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales to dedicate 2020 as a year of focus on the Bible and ‘The God Who Speaks’.
During the year, we will be celebrating, living and sharing God‘s word with an exciting new Scripture initiative. It’s an opportunity to enrich current practice and to develop and explore new ways of responding to ‘The God who Speaks’.
God who Speaks Prayer 🙏
Living God,
you walk alongside us
and speak to us throughout the Scriptures.
Your Son, Jesus Christ, listens to our hopes and fears
and shows us how to live for one another.
Send us the Holy Spirit to open our hearts and minds
so that we may be your witnesses throughout the world.
Amen
V. Your word is our path and your truth is our light.
R. This day and every day.
Parents, I know you will join me in saying a huge ‘Thank You’ to our amazing staff, who gave up their family time, to ensure our children from Y4, Y5 & Y6, experience fabulous opportunities through our Performing Arts Curriculum, by visiting Ingestre Hall in Staffordshire.
All 65 children had the opportunity to specialise in an art form of their choice: art, music, dance, music & film making. The children produced some amazing pieces, which they presented to their peers and shared with our whole school community on our Website! Wow! What fantastic talented children we have among us!
What a privilege it is to watch you grow in confidence, using your God given talents, to bring out the best in yourself & others around you! Thank you to all the staff & children for being great ambassadors for our school. 💕😊💕
Pope Francis has declared the English theologian John Henry Newman a saint.
The Pope pronounced the formula of canonisation before a packed congregation in St Peter’s Square.
He also canonised four others: Mother Mariam Thresia, Marguerite Bays, Mother Giuseppina Vannini and Sister Dulce Lopes.
