Prayer Leaders

Inspired by the words of Mother Teresa, we are committed to serving others and doing small things with great love.

Her message reminds us that even the simplest acts of kindness can make a significant impact in our community.

Hebrews 10:24

''And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and do good works.''

Every Catholic school needs a prayer leader because working together to follow Jesus’ example can lead to amazing things! In our busy lives, it’s easy to forget about prayer, which is our special connection with the Lord. Inspired by Mother Teresa’s words, “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love,” we can include prayer in our daily routines. By taking moments for gratitude and reflection, we can build a friendly community that grows in faith together. Every small act of love and prayer can brighten our school and bring us closer to God!

Our Meeting Minutes:

Term 1

This term, our focus will be on becoming familiar with the new Prayer Liturgy and RSHE overview. This will enable us to effectively plan and deliver our Collective Worship sessions.

Additionally, we will be inviting children from other classes to join us in this process, fostering collaboration and sharing of ideas.

By working together, we aim to create engaging and meaningful worship experiences that connect with everyone and enhance our spiritual development as a community.

New Academic Year 2024-2025

Beginning of Year Mass- Aylesford Priory

We were grateful to attend the Beginning of the Year Mass at Aylesford Priory on Tuesday, 24th September 2024. Organised by the Kent Catholic Schools Partnership, the event brought together schools to celebrate the start of the new academic year and strengthen our faith. It was a meaningful experience that united us in prayer and reflection.

A big thank you to Sophia-Maria for the beautiful artwork representing peace, presented at the Aylesford Priory Mass. The creation added a special touch to the event and inspired everyone present.
