Racial Justice Sunday 2024: Seeing one another in the life of the Church

This year the theme for Racial Justice Sunday is 'Seeing one another in the life of the Church'. Pupils celebrated Racial Justice Sunday by learning about the Saints of different races and cultures who reveal Christ to us. This learning aims to continue to encourage pupils to see themselves in the life of the Church. Pupils also completed activities to create a display for RJS 'Choices and Voices' as a constant reminder that we all have a voice in the church and within our school community. Year 3/4 completed a handprint and prayer, thanking God for the different Saints whom he sent to proclaim His Word, whilst Year 5/6 completed posters about the importance of one of the Saints learnt about and their impact on our faith. This work is displayed in the hall.

A prayer from the Diocese of Westminster

God of our past, present and future, 
you created each one of us in your image and likeness,
help us to recognise you in each person.

As we pray for end to suffering caused by racism
lead us this day to walk with one another,
pray with one another and work together,
so that we create a future based on justice and healing,
where all can fulfil the hope you have for all peoples. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
