Friday 27th October- A day of Prayer, peace and fasting
Pope Francis has announced this Friday to be a day of Prayer, peace and fasting, as a call to end the Israel-Hamas war. As a school community, we will have a focus on prayer; teachers and students are invited to turn on their classroom candles and have a minute silence to acknowledge this special day.
