Cardinal Newman Catholic School

The whole community of Cardinal Newman Catholic School are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Pope Francis I. His life of faith, compassion, and service touched millions around the world. We have fond memories of World Youth Day Pilgrimages. May he rest in Eternal Peace.

On Gaudete Sunday we focus on Joy. We will be on the main playground tomorrow morning during tutor time collecting any items for toiletries appeal and food bank collection! #MadeForGreatness

Our pilgrimage to Lourdes has began. We met this morning at 440am and took off with a prayer from Archbishop Bernard, we were put straight to work helping some of the pilgrims before heading off on our first shift! We can’t wait for day 2! #MadeForGreatness #calledtoserve

A huge thank you to the staff and pupils at St. Augustine’s Primary or their generous support and prayers for our Pilgrimage to Lourdes. We can’t wait to visit you when we get back.

Thank you to @CTKPrimaryCov and @SECPSCoventry for inviting our Lourdes students to talk to pupils about our upcoming pilgrimage to Lourdes! We can’t wait to come back and tell you all about it! Thank you also for allowing us to do a tuck shop for our final push for fundraising!

We had ‘eyes down’ for our Bingo and Pudding night organised by our Lourdes group! Thank you to all who came, we had great fun and raised just under £600!

✨ Well done to our Stars of the Week in Media, English, Maths, Science, History & the Library - you really are made for greatness ✨ instagram.com/p/CxvbAYHC2eH/…

Staff and students have arrived safely in Portugal for World Youth Day 2023! Looking forward to getting to know the host parish in Porto before heading to Lisbon for the main events with Pope Francis! Keep them in your prayers. #wyd2023 #MadeForGreatness @TheHolyCrossMAC
