It's #FamilyFastDay weekend!
Although not all of us are able to be with our parish and school communities this #Lent, we can still show solidarity with Abdella, who has to walk up to ten hours a day to get water for his family. Thank you for your support. 🙏
The #GospelOfTheDay (Mk 9:2-10) calls us to contemplate Jesus's transfiguration. It is an invitation to remember, especially when we pass through a difficult trial, that the Lord is Risen and does not permit darkness to have the last word.
It's #ShroveTuesday, which means Lent starts tomorrow!
Check out five things you can do this Lent to reflect, pray and stay connected with our global family - even during lockdown 👇

Tomorrow on Ash Wednesday, ashes will be sprinkled on the top of the head rather than traced in the shape of a cross on the forehead. This is actually the customary practice in countries across the world, including Italy. #AshWednesday#Ashes#Lent
What is Valentine's Day? 💜
Valentine was a martyr in Ancient Rome and today is associated with love.
The Feast Day of St Valentine invites us to mark and acknowledge the all-loving God, who blesses those who love one another. ✝️
Each of us might experience wounds, failure, suffering, selfishness that make us close ourselves off from God and others. In the face of all this, Jesus draws near with compassion and touches our life to heal it. #GospelOfTheDay

All human beings have the capacity to be determined and to direct that determination in whatever direction they like. Realizing we have this potential gives us a fundamental strength, enabling us to deal with any difficulty, whatever situation we are facing, without losing hope.
We are proud to present these fantastic pieces of work produced during lockdown by Ben in Year 7! Well done Ben, you’re work has been a pleasure to mark! #proudteacher#ReligiousStudies@SH_DracoHouse @CLovatt_History
