Today we celebrated CAFOD fast day. Our CAFOD volunteers, Patrick and Isobel, made their final visit to St. Peter’s to lead worship before they move away from the parish. Children and adults supported the CAFOD campaign by dressing as brightly as they could. We certainly did ‘Brighten Up’ for CAFOD. Isobel and Patrick talked to us all about the valuable work that CAFOD do in their mission to help wold wealth to be equally shared. We found out about some families in El Salvador and how £38 pounds would enable them to set up a farm so that they can become self sufficient! £1 is enough to send a child to a club improving their education and keeping them safe. So thank you for all your donations today – they really will make a huge difference.
We wish Isobel and Patrick well for their future and will miss their informative assemblies.
In RE lessons this week children have also been learning about harvest and answering questions about the celebration of harvest. Year 3 will be asking: ‘is it important to celebrate harvest?’. Year 5 will be challenged to answer the question: ‘how do the institutions of harvest and the Eucharist link?’.
Just a reminder Year 2 have their first whole year group liturgy on Tuesday 10th at 10.20. We look forward to welcoming friends and family.
Have a restful weekend,
Sarah Luter
