John Henry Newman to be made a Saint
“God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons,” Blessed John Henry Newman wrote.​
The Fatima Anniversary
The Story of Fatima
The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, appeared six times to three shepherd children ("The Three Seers") near the town of Fatima, Portugal between May 13 and October 13, 1917. Appearing to the children, the Blessed Virgin told them that She had been sent by God with a message for every man, woman and child living in our century. Coming at a time when civilization was torn asunder by war and bloody violence, She promised that Heaven would grant peace to all the world if Her requests for prayer, reparation and consecration were heard and obeyed.

Lent 2020:
Here are some photos from our 'Catholic Children's Society' Assembly, about our Lenten quest.
Year 1 and 2 organised a cake sale to raise money for CAFOD. We were thinking about how we could show almsgiving
during Lent.
The children made posters to advertise the cake sale and to send home to parents. They served customers, using their
money skills.
Thank you to all the parents who sent cakes in and who
supported us by coming to the cake sale.
We raised £128.46 for CAFOD.
February is the Month of the Holy Family
The Holy Family models for us what family life should exemplify. It is a school of virtue for both parents and children. There we find God, and learn how to connect with God and with others. The family is where love is freely given without self-interest. It is where we learn to love, to pray and to practice the gift of charity. Pope John Paul II has said, “The family, more than any other human reality, is the place in which the person is loved for himself and in which he learns to live the sincere gift of self” (Nov. 27, 2002).
You might like to follow the ‘Holy Family Novena and Prayers’ during the month of February.

“We Adore You, O Christ, and We Praise You”: The Gift of the Holy Eucharist.
A resource for Lent 2018 has been produced with September’s National Eucharistic Congress in mind and should be a wonderful parish preparation for this milestone event in the life of the Church in England and Wales and of the Church in Westminster.
WORLD DAY OF THE POOR
Pope Francis declared that Sunday November 19th 2017 would be the first World Day of the Poor.
As a way of demonstrating our commitment to ‘actions not words’ our children, parents and staff participated in the ‘Christmas in a Box’ appeal run by the Catholic Children’s Society.
Have a look at the large decorated boxes that were filled in each class and then sent to children in need of toys, clothes and food in London.
Thank you everyone who helped to generously fill these wonderful boxes!
This year we are again supporting the 'Christmas in a box' appeal.
