Wishing Father Nick, chaplain of @StJohnVianneySc, a very happy birthday.
We deeply appreciate your dedication to our community and to all @JustYouth2 ministries & all the schools you work in

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

Thank you to the entire @JustYouth2 team for making @StJohnVianneySc so welcome & looking after us so well. We truly grew in Faith together & we genuinely felt the Holy Spirit at work as we celebrated Pentecost @NewmanRCCollege @StPetersUK @AH_Chaplain @RCSalfordEd

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

Representatives of GIFT team @StJohnVianneySc were honoured to attend the @JustYouth2 Pentecost retreat alongside fellow schools who collaborate with Just Youth
To enrich their religious & liturgical programmes It was a beautiful day to reflect on the true meaning of Pentecost

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

Mrs Foden gave a creative and insightful reflection today,@StJohnVianneySc creative & full of insights linking the gospel writers to popular culture. Moments like this are why I value our voluntary reflection — a chance to reflect , grow, pause and share spirituality together

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

Our chaplain @StJohnVianneySc the fabulous Father Nick may be away on retreat, but we were truly blessed to have Father Fabias and Father Emmanuel step in. Their beautiful staff Mass this morning was the perfect way to begin the day @JustYouth2 @RCSalfordEd

Class 4 @StJohnVianneySc have been loving their enrichment session this week. They took what they learned in science and applied it through kite challenges exploring wind force and movement. Learning is always an adventure at SJV.

These pieces are something special. Created by our pupils during our Old Testament Deep Learning Day @StJohnVianneySc they reflect the awe, joy, and discovery they’ve felt throughout the journey. Can’t wait to see their creativity shine again when we move on to the New Testament

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

Last night we had the privilege of representing @StJohnVianneySc at the Memorial Mass for the sister of our wonderful Chaplain, Father Nick. We joined his @JustYouth2 community in prayer, solidarity and support.
Walking together as one family in faith.

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

So grateful to the local SJV community members who joined us for Mass today. We hold a weekly voluntary Mass and open our doors every first Friday. Sharing the Holy Eucharist with our neighbours is a real blessing for us and our SEND community. @RCSalfordEd @JustYouth2

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

The Gift Team leaders at SJV helped distribute leaflets across our local area, encouraging community members to come and celebrate Mass with us. Welcoming our neighbours, particularly in spiritual matters, is an essential part of who we are. @RCSalfordEd @SalfordDiocese

While teaching Year 12 at @StJohnVianneySc about judgement and the afterlife — Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell — I was explaining how our choices echo beyond this life. Suddenly a student leapt up and said, “Can I draw that?” The artwork they produced was brilliant.#Catholic

Congratulations to @StJohnVianneySc former Chaplain Father Pat who completed the London Marathon for Action for homeless a charity close to heart . An amazing achievement @JustYouth2 #Catholic #Faithinaction

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

C4 at SJV enjoyed a fantastic cycling session at Longford Park as part of our enrichment programme. With activities ranging from farm visits and forest school to travel training, independence & CAD, we’re proud to offer a diverse curriculum that builds confidence and life skills.

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

Huge thanks to our lead GIFT/chaplaincy members @StJohnVianneySc who helped us settle back in after Easter. They made sure the chapel and every form prayer table had the correct liturgical cloth. They did a fantastic job and we’re grateful for their care and the time they took

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

What a lovely poem written by one of our post 16 student. On what it means to be a student at @StJohnVianneySc . It so moving and beautiful, we will remember you as well and all our wonderful students at Saint John Vianney

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

We had such a beautiful time at our voluntary staff reflection @StJohnVianneySc
There’s something deeply moving about singing together — to sing is to pray twice, and it truly felt that way. Hearing our staff‑chosen favourite hymns, filled the room with joy and connection.

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

We had another excellent turnout for our voluntary student Mass @StJohnVianneySc . Today we celebrated Class 10 and offered their intentions and prayed for all students facing exams, especially those with additional needs @JustYouth2 @RCSalfordEd @SalfordDiocese

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

This moment captures what @StJohnVianneySc is all about — service, compassion, and community. Our staff washed students’ feet in our Easter Mass to reenact Jesus’ act on Maundy Thursday, reminding us all of the power of humility and love in action.”

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

✨ Students & staff @StJohnVianneySc proudly delivered our Lenten collection of food and toiletries to the Lalley Centre today!
A heartfelt thank‑you to everyone who contributed. Together, we’re putting faith into action @CaritasLalley @CaritasSalford

[MrsGarfin@StJohnVianneysc @GarfinMrs]

Service of reconciliation & stations of the cross @StJohnVianneySc with our wonderful chaplain Father Nick supported by our GIFT team who read scripture and prayers so well. We are ready to enter Holy Week together @JusYouth2
