The Chronicle

RE Book of the Week has been awarded to Carolina (J3V).

Our extended thanks go to Father Kevin for presiding over the blessing of pupils' stones in the St Joseph’s Prayer Garden. He was ably assisted by Mrs Jackson-Mayne. Children in the Reception class, or who are new to the school this year, were invited to decorate a small stone and first thing on Thursday morning they gathered to take part in the Blessing of the Stones service. 

Each stone symbolises how a child helps to make the school what it is and that they become the foundation of our ethos – to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and celebrate his message.

Intended as a place for prayer and reflection, this special location within Crackley's confines continues to offer a peaceful place for students and staff in what is a very busy time of year.

Under the cross is a box that contains stones laid by the children of the school, each stone is individual, it represents a member of the Crackley Hall community and provides a lasting legacy of the children’s time at Crackley Hall School.

It was lovely that Sr Philomena and Mrs Simmonds could join Mr Duigan as his guests at the service.
