Dear Parent

We started our Lenten journey this week with two Ash Wednesday services, a Mass for KS2 and a special afternoon service for KS1. Fr Tony asked us to consider what we would be trying to do during Lent, whether we would be trying to pray more, be giving something up, doing something extra or a mixture of all three….

We will be helping you with the something extra as we raise money for Comic Relief next Friday.· The children are invited to ‘wear something funny for money’ and pay £1 to take part.· If you would like to join in, then remember to dress up and please remember to bring in your £1 to help those less fortunate.· Thank you
