At St Ann’s we celebrate the Liturgical Calendar. Each week we gather together and celebrate the Good News with a Gospel assembly, this is followed by classroom daily worship via the Tenten programme.

Throughout the year pupils plan and celebrate liturgical prayers in their classrooms linked to their ‘Come & See topics’. Each class will have the opportunity during the year to celebrate and lead a whole school liturgical prayer.

Masses and Celebration of the Word prayers are celebrated for significant events and feast days. We welcome our families and communities in to school to celebrate with us. This page will be updated regularly with news and photos of our celebrations.

Thank you to all our families that attended the Children Mass at St Ann’s church Saturday 17th December, and we hope all the children remembered to bring their baby Jesus to be blessed by Father Desmond

At the start of this Advent session we gather together to share our Advent Prayers and Bless our Advent Wreaths. Each day of Advent we light our Advent Wreath and learn about Jesus’ ancestry through the Jesse Tree.

"Lord God, your Church joyfully awaits the coming of its Saviour, who enlightens our hearts and dispels the darkness of ignorance and sin.  Pour forth your blessings upon us as we light the candles of this wreath; may their light reflect the splendour of Christ, who is Lord, for ever and ever.  Amen."

Today we celebrate the lives of the saints, those men and women whose goodness and devotion to God have inspired the world. Throughout history the saints have allowed God’s love to shine through them, and their lives are examples for us to aspire to and follow.

Blessing of the New Academic Year

Today we welcomed Father Desmond to celebrate the new academic year.

“When Pentecost day came round, the apostles and Mary met together to pray. Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a violent wind which filled the entire house where they were sitting. There appeared to them tongues of fire, which separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.  They were all filled with the Holy Spirit…” Acts 2: 1-4

Today we gathered together to celebrate the Good News of the gift of the Holy Spirit. Year 5/6 led us in our Liturgical Prayer before we took to the streets of Stocksbridge to proudly proclaim and spread the Good News to our brothers and sisters in our community.

We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song!

The Good Shepherd Appeal. This year we have been thinking about Good Relationships.

What does a good relationship looks like with friends, family & Jesus?

Year 2 attended the Good Shepherd Service at St Marie’s Cathedral, whilst the rest of the classes watched the live stream in school.  Year 2 met Bishop Ralph at the Good Shepherd service.
