We were delighted to welcome a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes who was making a special pilgrimage around all the schools in the diocese to celebrate the centenary.
After prayer and liturgy, each class spent time with Mary and contributed to the special book, marking her travels around the Preston schools.
In this special year as pilgrims of hope, we have celebrated mass with Fr Etienne at English Martyrs every Wednesday during Lent. We have enjoyed our little pilgrimage along North Road to the church.

Holy Communion - What a wonderful day we had celebrating with our families and cluster schools in St. Joseph's Church.
HAPPY FIRST HOLY COMMUNION!
Congratulations to Julia and Lucasz who made their first holy communion today with children from our parish schools.
A beautiful celebration of a most special sacrament.
THIS IS HOLY WEEK.
As we draw closer to Easter and the start of our renewal in Christ’s life, the children reenacted the key events for us all to be reminded of this holy time.
Y3 led us in our celebration of Palm Sunday; a joyous occasion as Jesus enters Jerusalem. Then the events of the week take a more sombre tone as Y4 remind us that Jesus washes His friends feet to show that He is the servant king before he shares with them, the Last Supper beautifully represented by Y5. Y6 took us through the stations of the cross – almost unbearably with their solemn and respectful journey to the place of the crucifixion.
The children must be highly commended for their reverence and respect during the four assemblies we had – one each morning, to mark the start of each day and remind us all of the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
Enjoy looking at the children’s work and may we wish you all a happy and holy Easter.
GIVE IT UP FOR LENT.
This year we are joining the ‘Give it up’ campaign for CAFOD to help Rabuil and his poor family in Bangladesh.
Each week we will be giving our Friday afternoons as Friday fundraisers to raise money for our friends around the world. Follow our blog to see all the exciting ways we are living out Jesus’ message of ‘love one another’.
Here is CAFODs interactive calendar to help you and your family prepare for Easter during lent.
Thank you to Mrs Fordyce, our CAFOD supporter, who came to visit us on the first day of Lent. She told us all about how we can help our brothers and sisters in Bangladesh this year.
