The Road to Calvary
In this final week of term, St Peter’s pupils gathered twice to look ahead to the events of Holy Week. On Tuesday, using montage, narrative and prayer, the pupils participated in the Stations of the Cross during a service of Penance. On the final afternoon of term, Friday 31 March, the school then gathered for a Liturgy centred on Jesus’ sacrifice on Calvary. These services helped the children to reflect on the events of Christ’s final days in Jerusalem, and we will return on Monday 17 April to celebrate with joy the resurrection of the Lord.

The eggs keep rolling in!
Our librarian Mrs Porter has done a lovely display to remind children of our Easter Egg charity collection for Stella Maris.
Thank you Mrs Porter, and thank you families for all of the Easter Eggs that have been donated so far.

Stella Maris Easter Egg Appeal
This week at St Peter’s we launched our Lenten Appeal for acts of charity during this season of preparation for Easter. For Lent 2023 we are supporting Stella Maris in collecting Easter Eggs to give to visiting seafarers from around the globe when their ships dock in Portsmouth over Holy Week and Easter Week this year. The appeal will be open for 3 weeks until Monday 27 March, and if any families would like to donate one Easter Egg to our collection to pass to Stella Maris before the end of the spring term, we would be incredibly grateful to receive them at school.
Stella Maris Chaplains and Volunteer Ship Visitors will be visiting ships in our Southern ports during Holy Week and after Easter, and expect to bring this great celebration to many hundreds of seafarers who remain confined to their ships at this time, without the prospect of taking shore leave or visiting a church.
Together with faith materials, Stella Maris would like to offer Easter Eggs and chocolates, the international symbol of celebration of this Solemnity of Solemnities, and would greatly appreciate the support of St Pewter’s in their Stella Maris Easter Egg appeal.
We need to prepare now. Can you help us by donating Easter eggs and chocolates? Your gift may be the only gift a seafarer receives this Easter.
