Catholic Identity

Creator God, we follow in the footsteps of Jesus, as we walk together on your path of love, hope and faith.

Thank you for the gifts of our school, 

our environment, our families and friends.

May our school be a place of learning, care, welcome and celebration.

Mary our Mother, pray for us.

St Mary of the Cross, pray for us. 

Amen

This year’s theme for C.E.Sandhurst schools is

“Let the words you speak always be full of grace.”

As we continue to spread the Good News, we are called to be people of dialogue, 

using our words as instruments of love.

We will encourage those in our care to speak kindly to one another in the classroom, the playground, on the bus, in the car and at home.

Laudato Si' means "Praised Be", is the name of Pope Francis' encyclical on caring for our common home — planet earth. 

Laudato Si' takes place from May 16th to May 24th. This annual event, established by Pope Francis in 2015, celebrates the fifth anniversary of his encyclical letter, Laudato Si', which calls for "care for our common home" and highlights the interconnectedness of all living beings and the environment. 

When you get a moment view: Look At The World by John Rutter -lyric video at it displays our planet in all its splendour.

During this week, we will have the opportunity to reflect on the themes of Laudato Si', deepen our understanding of the current environmental challenges we face, and explore ways we can contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and just world.

Ascension Sunday

Last Sunday was Ascension Sunday where we are called to be the people of God and continue to spread the Good News of God loving presence in our lives.

Loving creator guide us

as we seek to share the message of love with the whole world. 

Bless us with the strength and wisdom and to reach out to those who need to hear the gospel. 

Give us the courage 

to live at our faith each day, 

and to be a shiny example of your love.

Amen.
