As we step into November, the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, inviting us into a season of reflection and remembrance. At St Peter’s Catholic Primary School, this month began with a whole school Celebration of the Word on the solemnity of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day — two important occasions in the Church’s calendar that remind us of the communion of saints and the hope we hold in eternal life.

In the worship, our pupils learnt about the life of the recently canonised Saint Carlo Acutis, drawing inspiration from his courage, compassion, and unwavering faith. Saint Carlo Acutis’ life story helps us reflect on how we, too, can live out our values in everyday life — showing kindness, seeking justice, and walking humbly with God. As we journey through this month together, we hold in prayer all those who have gone before us, and we give thanks for the light of Christ that guides us through every season.
