The Chronicle

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, one of the best known of all Catholic devotions.  October also includes the Feast of Our Lady observed on 7 October.  To coincide with this, Fr Kevin visited the school on Thursday and talked about the Rosary and how to pray using the Rosary. He shared some of his own rosaries as we prayed for peace in the world whilst doing a decade of the Rosary together.

Mrs Glen-Roots led Monday's Mission assembly and focused on St Francis of Assisi, whose Feast Day was 4 October. Saint Francis is one of the world’s most popular saints, known for his love and care for creation, his help towards the poor, and his quest for peace. Mrs Glen-Roots spoke about how God called St Francis to 'rebuild His church' and all the many important lessons St Francis taught us:-

• He gave up everything to live simply and care for the poor. 
• He showed us how we should be kind to all living creatures and to take care of nature. 
• Most importantly, he believed that loving others, especially those in need, was the greatest way to show our love for God.

Pupils were asked to consider ways they could follow St Francis' example and the assembly concluded with Make me a Channel of your Peace - a hymn which reflected the spirit of St Francis.
