St Joseph's Todmorden (GIFT Chaplaincy Team)

One of our Pupil Chaplains has enjoyed learning about the symbolism and meaning of Bishop John Arnold's @SalfordBishop coat of arms in the topic of continuing Jesus' mission in diocese - "Go where Divine Providence calls you".

Thank you to our Pupil Chaplains for leading the school with reflections and prayers to celebrate our Heavenly Mother, Mary. We acknowledged that it is through Mary that Jesus was brought to each one of us.

@IFWeek Yes of course.

@StJosephsTod We have noticed that you have some good pictures associated with your activities for Inter Faith Week! Might you be happy to give us permission to be able to potentially use these images in future IFN materials about the Week, such as the 2022 Week report or online pages?

A wonderful week celebrating #InterFaithWeek in which we continued to grow in our understanding of each other so we can continue to celebrate the wonderful diversity within our school family.

For World Book Day, one of the Pupil Chaplains came as Faith from The Lie Tree. @FrancesHardinge

Friends, Pope Benedict XVI has passed away and entered into his eternal reward. Please join me in praying for the repose of his soul.

Friends, Pope Benedict XVI, Joseph Ratzinger, was one of the most consequential theologians of the 20th and 21st centuries. His impact on the Church will be remembered long after today.

We very much enjoyed The Meaning of Advent video by @mark10mission. youtube.com/watch?v=_ktlH-…

We enjoyed our visit today from Open the Book who shared the story of David and Goliath. They helped us see how people who are considered little can tackle big problems just like Greta Thunberg.

As we begin a new year in the life of the Church, Bishop John shares with us a pastoral letter to help guide us as we continue on our journey of faith. Click the link below to listen to a recording of his letter or visit our website to read in full on.soundcloud.com/4R4oV

Some fantastic work by the Pupil Chaplains in RE. In Year 6, we looked at the message of Pope Francis for the 58th World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Pope Francis shared what we could learn about vocations from Saint Joseph: vatican.va/content/france…

Following the World Day of the Poor, one of the Pupil Chaplains reflected on the power of art to highlight injustice. She has started creating her own art to reflect on the injustice of poverty.

To celebrate the feast day of St Martin of Tours, the Pupil Chaplains acted out the story of the cloak of St Martin for the school. They finished by praying that we all strive to follow his example of seeing Jesus in everyone. @SrJudithRussi

Thank you to the Pupil Chaplains for helping guide the whole school through our observation of the two-minute silence. They shared prayers, a reading from the Bible and a litany.

This week, the Pupil Chaplains have visited classes to reflect on the question: How can I be saint? They have helped answer this question through sharing the example of Chiara Badano.

The Pupil Chaplains are leading a daily session of prayer for All Souls during the month of November.

The Pupil Chaplains have again visited Year 1 to help them with their current topic on belonging.
