Ending our day together with Dr Moses' wine tasting and cheese night! Looks great Dr Moses! #OratoryJoy #OratoryCuriosity

We celebrated Mass on the Feast of SS Peter and Paul to give thanks and reflect on all that has been achieved today. Well done L6! #OratoryJoy

Now the L6 are focusing on part four - DELIVER 📮 now that we have all of these wonderful ideas, how are the L6 going to make them happen? #OratoryEndeavour #OratoryRespect

#AshWednesday began with an Ashing Service for the Whole School in Chapel. We reflected on how our lives might change for the better as we focus in our observance of #Lent. A smaller service took place later for those unable to attend due to exams. @Oratorychaplain @CISCSchools

Our U6th did @oratoryschool proud yesterday in leading and serving each other as they embark on the final leg of their A-Level journey. This time of recollection is vital in their well-being and mutual support. Congratulations U6th on your example of #somedefiniteservice

Following the example of Jesus in the Gospel (Cf Lk 4:40ff), we’re taking time out from our busy schedules to be made ready for the business to come!

Our journey to Leicester today is a particularly beautiful one, blue skies and frosted fields. We’re reflecting on the journey of King Richard III, whose journey to eternal rest with dignity took a long time.

Journeying to @hxleicester who are hosting our U6th Day of Recollection. This is a very important opportunity in the life of our U6th, their last chance to take some official time out together before mock exams and public exams.

There’s much talk today about #BlueMonday and some of the unhelpful stigma it perpetuates around mental health. We can use #oratoryjoy and #oratorykindness to help each other have a better day, every day. Maybe make it a #BrewMonday and have a cuppa and a catch up with friends.

It was great to welcome Fr Samuel, and to hear his thoughts on peace. God bless his ministry, and the work of our Armed Forces in protecting our freedom.

Great sacristy team for the ⁦@OratoryWootten⁩ first house Mass
