Today our GIFT (Growing In Faith Together) team helped to launch the Jubilee Year in our school. The theme of the Jubilee Year is 'Pilgrims of Hope' and Pope Francis wants each one of us to celebrate this year by trusting in God, looking forward with hope, and showing love to others through kind and caring actions. A Jubilee Year is celebrated every 25 years and is a special time to re-focus on doing God's will in our lives, our communities and in our world. This year, we are called to share our hope in God's abounding love with the whole world.

Tomorrow, every class will celebrate the start of the Jubilee Year by taking part in a diocesan art competition. Each child will produce a piece of artwork to reflect the Jubilee Year themes. We look forward to seeing what they will create!
