Catholic Education Week recently  took place with the theme for this year being ‘Shining The Light of Faith’ which draws on the first Papal Encyclical of Pope Francis ‘Lumen Fidei’ – The Light of Faith. As part of the week’s events the wider school community joined together for the annual Cluster Mass including staff, parents and pupils from Taylor High School, Christ the King Primary, Holytown,  Our Lady and St. Francis Primary, Carfin, St. Mary’s Primary, Cleland, St. Patrick’s Primary, New Stevenston and St. Teresa’s Primary, Newarthill. The staff and students of the school Music department led by Principal Teacher Fiona Cannon provided the musical liturgy for this Mass which took place in celebration of Catholic Education Week in St. Frances Xavier Parish in Carfin. Fr. King provided the liturgy for this service and had some inspiring words for the young people, parents, carers and staff members of our wider cluster community. Thanks go to the music department Fiona Cannon, Miss Suzanne Evans and Miss Kerry Smith. Special mention to Mrs Honor Miller of the Modern Languages department, and Sixth Year House Captain Caitlin Miller who provided beautiful vocal performances as part of the musical liturgy. Our thanks to Stage Head Mrs. Sandra Devlin who co-ordinated this service,  Fr. King for his continued support in celebrating the strong faith of our school, and to the pupils from our associated primary schools and our own House Captains, Caitlin Miller for St. Ninian, Caitlin Cogan for St. Kentigern, Mark McShane for St. Andrew, Conor Duffy for St. Margaret, Julia McKendrick for St. John Ogilvie and Mark Muldoon for St Columba House for all their wonderful contributions to the service on the evening.
