We then listened to the following Gospel: **Jesus said to the crowds, “You are light for the whole world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl; instead it is put on the lampstand, where it gives light for everyone in the house. In the same way, your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.”** **(Mt 5:14-16)** Following this, the children reflected on how they will share the light of Jesus with others during these dark days of winter. They wrote their ideas on candles which are displayed in our entrance hall. They include suggestions like, 'Smile', 'Use kinds words', 'Help my mum', 'Be joyful'. ### Jesus Light of the World [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/jesus-light-of-the-world/Jesus_light_of_the_world.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/gallery/jesus-light-of-the-world/Jesus_light_of_the_world.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/100x100c/CatholicLifeoftheschool/Epiphany.jpg)](https://cathedral.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-01-06-celebrating-epiphany) Previous ### [Celebrating Epiphany](https://cathedral.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-01-06-celebrating-epiphany) [![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3499.JPG)](https://cathedral.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-02-04-sean-perkins-visit) Next ### [Sean Perkins Visit](https://cathedral.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-02-04-sean-perkins-visit) - [![Woodland Trust - Gold Award](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/woodland_trust_gold.jpg)](https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/get-involved/schools/green-tree-school-award/) - [![Primary Science Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/PSQM_Award_2018.jpg)](http://www.psqm.org.uk/) - [![The Catholic Teaching Alliance](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/CTA.png)](https://www.catholic-teaching-alliance.org/) - [![School Sports Network](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/Lancaster_-_Heysham_SSN_letter_members_logo(1).jpg)](https://www.lhssn.co.uk/) - [![School Games Award](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/School_Games_badge_(1).png)](https://www.yourschoolgames.com/) - [![School Virtual Games Award](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/School_Games_virtual_badge_(1).png)](https://www.yourschoolgames.com/) - [![Operation Encompass](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/partners/Operation_Encompass.png)](https://www.operationencompass.org/) ##### Location Balmoral Road Lancaster Lancashire LA1 3BT ##### Contact Us 01524 64686 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584762347179) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Cathedral Catholic Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://cathedral.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
