Fiesta del Corpus Christi y la santa cruz

It is with great pleasure that we announce today the date and time of the next Spanish fiesta. It will be based on the celebation of Corpus Christi and the Holy Cross – and particularly in the Cruces de mayo, typical from Spain.

Moreover, this is a special fiesta since it is an occasion to remember our dear Canon Glackin, who, sadly, passed away recently. This fiesta has been organised as a tribute for his memory, given that he was always very gladly involved and committed to everything that could be a joyful and enriching experience for the children and young people of our learning comunity.

Shaping our Vision and Values

The Pupil Council has recently been involved in initial discussions of the vision and values of the school. What is most clear already is that pupil involvement is key if they are to have ownership of the values of their school. To this end, over the next two months the Pupil Council will ensure ALL pupils have the opportunity to shape these values through a series of group tasks in Homeroom. Parents and staff will also be invited to participate. As a school community, we look forward to undertaking this important task and to relaunching our revised vision and values in due course.

Daily Prayer

Reflection

This Eastertide all of us are called to experience the great joy of the Resurrection. A great way to do that is to imagine yourself with Mary outside the tomb of Jesus. And to try to experience the marvellous joy that flooded her whole being at the moment that she recognized Jesus. Try to recognise the importance of Jesus in your own life.

risenPrayer
Almighty God, who through your only‑begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life‑giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
May I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.

Faith

Daily Prayer

Reflection
Think about the person that looks after you? Mum, Dad, Gran, Sister, etc. What do they do to make your life ha25th April 2016 prayerppy, healthy and peaceful that you don’t usually see them do it or even pay attention to them doing it? (making lunch, going to the shops, doing the laundry, smiling when you need encouragement, quizzing you on a spelling test). Now think about the things the Holy Spirit does for you to make your life peaceful, happy and healthy. Think today about how we can show God how thankful we are for the Holy Spirit and those who look after us.

Prayer
Jesus, our brother, thank you for loving us and calling us to follow you. Help us to listen to your Word and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and those who love us. IN your name we pray. Amen

School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
I live it com
pletely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
