Year 7 choose their Patron Saint

After playing ‘Who wants to be a Patron Saint’ each form, presented the Saint they had been researching – St John Bosco; St Oscar Romero; Bl Chiara Badano; St Josephine Bakhita;  Mother Teresa of Calcutta and St Jose del Rio. St Jose del Rio received the highest number of votes and therefore, will be their Patron Saint over the next five years at St. Paul’s

St Jose del Rio was put to death for his Catholic Faith, at the age of 14 by the Mexican authorities in 1928. He refused to give up his faith, despite torture at a time when Catholics were being persecuted by the Mexican government.

Our Ceferino (Chaplaincy) Team carried out training with our Year 7 students led by some of our Year 8 Ceferino Team. We celebrated Mass with the parishioners of St Joseph’s Church where Fr Vitalis blessed our Ceferino badges, at the end of the Mass.

Year 7 Student Jamie McMillan has written a book!  Jamie’s book is titled Guinness and Ted’s Adventures – Our Principal Mrs. Conaghan,  is really looking forward to reading about two crazy dogs who get themselves into difficult and silly situations! Well done Jamie.

We were visited by Fr Bertrand who came to celebrate our 11P Class Mass. Fr Bertrand has been studying in France but will be returning to his home country Burkina Faso after his short stay in Leicester. His Bishop has asked him to open a school – but they have little resources to achieve it. We have promised to support Fr Bertrand‘s project in any way we can!

Our students fully embraced Cultural Dress Day a culmination of Diversity Week.
