Catholic Schools’ Week
Fri 22 Jan 2021Our annual celebration of Catholic Schools' Week starts this Monday 25th. The theme this year is: Communities of Faith and Resilience. There will be tasks for the children to complete every day focusing on Love, Resilience and Hope and will provide families opportunities to discuss the faith with their children. As we are unable to celebrate Grandparent's Day the way we normally would, we will be asking the children to take part in a Literacy and Art competition to show how much they are loved and to highlight the important role grandparents play in our children's lives. Fr Edward Magee will also be a celebrating Mass online on Thursday 28th January at 12 noon with a particular focus on Catholic Schools as Communities of Faith, Learning, Love, Resilience and Hope. We would love you to join in with your families with the online celebration via the St Mary's University College webcam link at:
