One of our Pupil Chaplains has enjoyed learning about the symbolism and meaning of Bishop John Arnold's @SalfordBishop coat of arms in the topic of continuing Jesus' mission in diocese - "Go where Divine Providence calls you".

Thank you to our Pupil Chaplains for leading the school with reflections and prayers to celebrate our Heavenly Mother, Mary. We acknowledged that it is through Mary that Jesus was brought to each one of us.

Friends, Pope Benedict XVI has passed away and entered into his eternal reward. Please join me in praying for the repose of his soul.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Friends, Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger, was one of the most consequential theologians of the 20th and 21st centuries. His impact on the Church will be remembered long after today.

We enjoyed our visit today from Open the Book who shared the story of David and Goliath. They helped us see how people who are considered little can tackle big problems just like Greta Thunberg.

Following the World Day of the Poor, one of the Pupil Chaplains reflected on the power of art to highlight injustice. She has started creating her own art to reflect on the injustice of poverty.
