Pilgrims of Hope
Our Chaplaincy Team helped to launch Pilgrims of Hope by displaying our banner on the school fence. They also took the items collected for our Bag of Hope to 'Room at the Inn', as well as collecting items from other schools, helping to show the Catholic Social Teaching Principles, Subsidarity and Solidarity. We also received a lovely thank you from Mrs James, the Chaplain from Cardinal Newman, for our help in collecting donations for the homeless in Warrington.
Collective Worship
Our Year 6 Chaplaincy Team regularly share Collective Worships with the classes throughout the school term.
