Catholic Children's Society - Lenten Appeal 2024
This year’s appeal is inspired by Pope Francis’s call for young people to use their voice to make a difference in the world. Every penny raised by your school will support our work with local disadvantaged children and families.
Pupils will be given Lenten Appeal collection boxes to collect spare change in order to raise money for the CCS. We hope you will be able to support us - every penny counts!
There are also some resources and links provided by the Diocese of Westminster which families can interact with at home in preparation for Easter which can be found under 'Parents and Carers'.
Holy Week 2024
This year, we observed Maundy Thursday at school through a Liturgy led by the Mini Vinnies. The Mini Vinnies worked hard to prepare a liturgy based on the events of Holy Week and re-enacting some of these events in preperation for Easter. This has built on pupils learning about Holy Week in RE lessons.
RE Resources for Holy Week:
November: The Month of the Holy Souls
As November is a month of remembrance, children were given the opportunity to write their intentions which have been added to a prayer book, presented in the front office. The book provides a safe space for children to write their reflections and intentions.
