As part of the Catholic Life of the school, we are focusing on the three themes set out by Bishop Patrick McKinney. Each year we will focus on one of the three topics, starting with Encounter, where we invite the children to find more opportunities to be with God and allow Him into our hearts and minds. The following years will focus on Discipleship and Missionary Discipleship.

These words mean:

Encounter – to call

Discipleship – to build

Missionary discipleship – to send

We encounter Jesus many ways at St Mary’s school.

In this Jubilee year of Hope, we are working on our discipleship.
