Sticks and Stones

Last Wednesday the whole school met in the hall to watch the wellbeing production of “Sticks and Stones.” The actors were amazing to watch as they juggled balls and batons and shared their talents together as their characters Toby and TJ.

The production explored important messages about how to treat others and how to safe online.

All Saints & all Souls day 1st November & 2nd November: These 2 special days are no longer holy days of obligation but we are still encouraged to pray for those who have passed away. November is a month dedicated to remembering those who have died. Often a connection is made to remembrance day on the 11th November. 

1st November:All Saints’ Day is a time to consider the example saints offer us and to reflect on how we can imitate their lives. As Pope Benedict XVI said, All Saints’ Day calls us ‘to see the Church… as Christ wanted it, that is, as the communion of saints.’ 

All Souls’ Day follows All Saints Day on 2 November and is also known as the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed and the Day of the Dead. It is a day of prayer and remembrance for the souls of those who have died.We hold on to our precious memories of those that are no longer with us whether we knew them for a long time or only briefly.

For all those who have lost family members over the past 12 months we pray the following prayer for them.
