We are proud to introduce the Caritas Ambassadors for 2024-2025. The children were blessed and welcomed into the service of our school in the Mercy Mass by Father Francis in September. We celebrated our Mercy Mass and reminded our school community about the importance of the Mercy Charism in our school.
The Chaplaincy Team will be taking part in the masses and liturgies throughout the school year.
Thank you children for your dedicated service.
This year, the Chaplaincy Team have visited Feed, the Food Bank in St Albans to find out more about this charity. As a result of this visit, they helped to organise our Harvest Appeal and a great deal of items were collected to support families in need in St Albans.
On Sunday 5th February, Racial Justice Sunday will take place. The Chaplaincy Team led our assembly thinking about what it means to be fair and just and how we should treat everyone with kindness. We talked about us all being part of the human race and we are all united! We also sang a lovely song called ‘ Children United’
Some events which the Chaplaincy Team lead throughout the year:
Praying the Rosary for the Month of October
Leading a Harvest Assembly to encourage donations for the local food bank
Remernance Assembly for November
Advent Assemblies leading up to Christmas
Dressing of the Tree and the Advent Celebration Ceremony
Lenten assemblies
Stations of the Cross and Easter Assembly
Crowning of Mary Celebration
Praying to Mary in the Month of May
Throughout the year the children also lead Masses both in school and at St Bartholomew’s Church.
In the Summer term, we will aim to write a school prayer as well as lead assemblies about Catholic Social Teaching.
