Learning In RE

As we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day on the fourth week of Lent, Junior 2 have been busy decorating cakes with sweetness for their wonderful mums to enjoy. We thought about the ways we could become more responsible at home to help our parents and we thanked God for our wonderful mums and the endless love and care which they give to us.

Today (Friday) Pope Francis will dedicate Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Friday has been especially chosen as it is the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. His Holiness has asked all Bishops throughout the world to join him from their Cathedrals in this important time of prayer and in turn, Archbishop Bernard has asked the clergy and religious communities to join in this too. The Act of Consecration is taking place at about 5.30pm (UK time) as part of a Celebration of Penance (starting at 4.00pm). As a school family, we can join our prayers with those of the Consecration by praying the Angelus on Friday. If you can, please pray at twelve; it will be a great act of witness to offer our prayers across the Diocese at the same time.
