Canonisation of John Henry Newman
All over the world, people were preparing to celebrate the canonisation of Blessed John Henry Newman on Sunday 13th October. (First English saint since 17th century). Pupils across the school participated in praying with the rosary.
Extraordinary Missionary Month
During October we spent time in prayer with Archbishop Bernard. This took place on Wednesday 9th October at 14:00, our school joined via a live stream. As October is the Extraordinary Missionary Month and also dedicated to the Holy Rosary we were praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary.
Remembrance Sunday
On Remembrance Sunday our school supported the community by joining the Remembrance Parade.
CAFOD’s values
