Red Wednesday – Caritas Success!

Red Wednesday is a day of raising funds and awareness for the plight of persecuted Christians around the world. Pope Leo’s charity for this cause is Aid To The Church In Need, with whom Turnbull has a special, long-standing link.

Our Caritas pupils delivered on the campaign’s three objectives:

Information– Caritas pupils led an online assembly for the whole school, highlighting that 80% of religious persecution world-wide, is against Christians

Prayer- As part of the assembly, the whole school took time to pray for our brothers and sisters who risk their lives to remain faithful to he Lord.

Action- Our Caritas class independently organised a bake sale so successful that they had to run it at break and lunchtimes! They raised £237!

The Caritas class have asked Miss Morrison and I to thank you for your support of this important charity event in our school.

 

Red Wednesday 2020

In keeping with our longstanding partnership with Aid to the Church in Need, Turnbull High School celebrated Red Wednesday- a day to raise funds and awareness for Christians who are persecuted for their faith.

Our usual events were not possible this year but pupils made donations and wore red, the colour of martyrs, with their uniform to show solidarity with those who are oppressed, tortured and killed for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Following what has become a Red Wednesday custom across the UK, we lit up our oratory Red.

Our Aid to the Church in Need group led the event and did a great job with advertising. Joined by Fr Monaghan and Mr Pearce, the group also joined to pray the sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary, meditating on the suffering of Jesus and the suffering His Church.
