CHARITIES WE SUPPORT

Our local CAFOD representative came to school and delivered an assembly about the work CAFOD does all over the world.

We collect food for our local food bank once a month. Once a year we join with local schools in our Network for a celebration mass. We collect for our local food bank at this mass.

We collected clothes, books and toys for Nugent Care. Two volunteers visited our school to thank us for our donations and to tell us all about the Nugent Care charity.

Sr. Margaret is a longstanding friend of our school. Her missionary work has taken her to Zambia, Haiti, the Philippines, Jamaica and many more places. She works with children who have been separated from their families or who have suffered as a result of famine, hurricanes or other extreme weather conditions. Many have no homes, limited food and no clean water. She has worked with local people to build shelters, homes and schools. She has worked to bring medical supplies, clothes and teaching resources to the most remote places. As a school we have supported her work by sending money, school uniform, clothes, books and resources in partnership with the Knights of St Columba. 

Our school choir visited the Cathedral of Christ the King to celebrate the Good Shepherd Mass with other schools across the archdiocese.

Members of our School Council attended our annual WDNLC mass at St Vincent's with the other schools in our network.

This year we celebrated the work of Nugent Care and each school donated hampers for those less fortunate.
