Statement to live by:
I notice that we are the same and we
are different
A reading from St. Paul’s Letter to the Colossians
You are created by God to be like God.
You are God’s people, his saints. He loves you.
You are all different.
You come from different places,
Speak in different ways, have different customs.
But the important thing is that you are God’s children.
So love one another, help one another,
Be at peace with one another.
And let the love of Jesus fill your hearts and minds.
FR McGINN
Please keep Fr McGinn in your prayers as he is still in hospital. First Holy Communions will still go ahead this
Sunday at 2pm with a visiting Priest.

SWEATSHIRT ORDER

PROJECT FUND
Each term we request that you make a contribution to our school through the Diocesan Contributions Scheme. This
is a very important source of funds as all Voluntary Aided Schools like ours must fund 10% of any capital
expenditure they wish to make.
If you are a tax payer you could also complete a Gift Aid Declaration form which would enable us to claim tax
back on any contributions you make. If you would like to complete a GAD form, please see Mrs Naylor or Mrs
Wray in the school office.
Yours sincerely
Mrs K Cox
Head teacher
