Fr James celebrated Mass to mark the start of the new school year at St Peter’s, with 370 children from Years 1 to 6 in attendance.  Fr James based his homily upon the upcoming Year of Jubilee 2025, the theme of which as decided by Pope Francis is to be ‘Pilgrims of Hope’. 

The children were made aware that this jubilee year will be marked across the whole Church throughout the whole world, but that its presence will be felt right here in the school on a daily basis.  Seeing the vibrancy, the solidarity and the love of the school community is a source of hope that in our little corner of the world we are creating a small piece of God’s kingdom here on earth.

Fr James explained that when he visits the school, he is always filled with hope for the future when spending time with the children of St Peter’s.
