St. John Paul II Primary School & Nursery Class, Viewpark

This Friday is our last Foodbank Friday of 2021. We are asking for your support one more time for our local foodbank. Here are some ideas for donations!

Here are all our important Christmas events for this week. On their party day, children can go home to get ready for their party, or bring clothes in and get ready in school. They can be collected at 12.15, and should be back at 1.20.

All of the dates of our Christmas events and celebrations for the children are on our newsletters but here are this week’s dates to remember. On their party day, children can be collected from school at 12.15, or can bring party clothes into school to change. 🎄🎅🏻🎄

Week Two menu for lunches this week.

Winter Coat Event

The Community Council are holding a Winter Coat event, where local people are invited to collect a winter coat for children/adults they know may need one.  Why not join the crusade to reduce waste and reuse perfectly good, pre-love clothing?!  It is becoming more and more popular.  The added bonus is that this will cost you NOTHING!  They will be in the Miners’ Welfare on the following dates:

Thursday 2nd December  11am – 4pm

Tuesday 7th December  11am – 4pm

Thursday 9th December  11am – 4pm

Simply turn up and choose a coat (or coats).  All garments are free!

Week one menu for lunches this week!

We will be holding our monthly Food Bank Friday on Friday 26th November and will welcome any donations of the following items…

As always, all donations will be gratefully received.  We really appreciate your support and we are so glad to be supporting the work of the Viewpark Food Bank in conjunction with Viewpark Parish Church.

We are on the week three menu for lunches this week. Thursday will be a special “Under the Sea” menu.

Is your child in P3, P4 or P7?  Are they going to be making their First Confession (P3), First Communion (P4) or Confirmation (P7)?

Parents of these children are invited by Fr Morris and Fr Bogan to attend an information meeting.  These meetings will take place in both St. Gabriel’s and St. Columba’s Churches.  They will run simultaneously and you should go along to the church which you normally attend for Mass.

All meetings will take place on Monday 22nd November 2021

First Confession:  6:30pm

First Communion: 7pm

Confirmation: 7:30pm

If you are part of St. Columba’s Parish and are unable to attend, you should contact Fr Bogan to let him know that you wish to enrol your child for the Sacraments.

Fr Bogan’s telephone number is:  01698 817609
