This will be a sponsored pilgrimage to help us with our almsgiving during Lent, the sponsorship form is attached below. We are looking for all our St.Fergus families to get involved by running, walking or cycling and tracking the miles you do each day/week on our Strava page. This will take place for the remainder of Lent with the aim of reaching Rome and giving alms to alleviate the suffering of the poor. Our chosen charities this year are Missio and Who cares? Scotland.

Hello everyone, as you will know due to COVID the Mini Vinnies haven’t been able to take place this year. However on Sunday the 7th of February it is the feast of the Blessed Rosalie Rendu, who was a main part in starting up The Society of St Vincent de Paul. I have attached below a powerpoint which tells you all about Rosalie Rendu’s life. She was a caring nun who gave her time and talents to help the poor and sick. I am hoping that during these difficult times we can be inspired by Rosalie Rendu. I would like you to make a little booklet/story of her life talking about how she grew up and all the amazing things she has done to help others.
You do not have to be a Mini Vinnie to take part, anyone is welcome to join our Online Mini Vinnies!

Your last task for today is to think about your new years resolutions. A fresh year is a fresh start for lots of people. I would like you to think about your goals for this year. Is your goal to continue the positive things you were doing last year this could be being kind to others, helping your parents. They could be goals such as health and fitness goals are you trying to eat healthier or exercise more. Whatever your goal be make sure your resolution is a positive one that you will aim to keep up during 2021. I would also like you to draw a picture of your new year’s resolution, this could be on paper or on Google Draw you can find this on Google Classroom -> Google Docs -> blank -> insert drawing -> new. It’s the same place that we done our Christmas cards.
This Christmas many of our pupils will be finding new phones and tablets in their Christmas stockings, lucky them! However as they get started viewing videos, chatting to friends and live stream gaming, it is important for us to remember to keep them protected.
