St Patrick’s Parish
Linking the home and school with St Patrick’s parish is achieved through the following:
Representatives from school staff partaking in hub meetings with Religious and hub Chaplains to plan school and hub masses, liturgies and retreats throughout the Liturgical year.
Representatives from school staff partaking in regular parish meetings so that there is a planned programme of home-school-parish events based upon prayer and liturgy.
Parishioners are warmly invited to school events such as CAFOD Harvest Festival,
Joint home- school-parish projects, such as: the Homeless Shoebox appeal, local Foodbank appeal and ongoing commitment to CAFOD evidence the school’s commitment to Catholic Social teaching.
Representatives from St Patrick’s parish form part of the Local Governing Body.
Joint home-school-parish Sacramental project, led by hub chaplains.
Children’s Liturgy group is held weekly during 11am Sunday Mass at St Patrick’s Church. This is based upon the ‘Word of the Week’ and links closely to school thus linking the home and school.
