Reception class and Key Stage One shared a Liturgy of the Word in school and Key Stage 2 went to lunchtime Mass with the parish in the Cathedral. During Lent, we are trying to grow closer to Jesus by giving to others, praying and focusing on our actions. Every child has written on a flower how they are going to try to grow closer to Jesus during Lent. The letter below was sent out to parents and carers to tell them about the Lent fundraising led by our St Francis of Assisi group during Lent.
