The Sixth Form celebrated Christmas Mass this morning with Father Dominic at St Augustine’s Church. A lovely way to start the final week of term.

Today is Gaudete Sunday and there is much to celebrate. The focus of today’s Advent reflection is based on love and the words of John the Baptist. cafod.org.uk/pray/advent-ca…

Today is the First Sunday of Advent! As we enter this new liturgical season, we reflect upon all the promises that God made in the Old Testament that were fulfilled by Jesus' birth. This week we are reminded of the hope that Jesus brings to each and every one of us.

Today, the Church celebrates #WorldDayOfThePoor. In his message for 2023, @Pontifex says: "Whenever we encounter a poor person, we cannot look away, for that would prevent us from encountering the face of the Lord Jesus.” More ways to mark the day ⤵️ cafod.org.uk/pray/world-day…

During #Diwali, the festival of lights - celebrated in India & by followers of many faiths across the world - clay lamps are lit to signify the victory of good over evil.

From all of us here at RE Today, we would like to wish all those celebrating today, a very happy Diwali. Look out for those brightly lit homes, and fireworks signifying light over darkness and good over evil. #FestivalofLight #Diwali

This Remembrance Sunday, we pray for the souls of all killed by war and conflict. May they rest in peace. 🙏 We also pray for more peace and reconciliation all over the earth.
