Welcome To St Mary's
We welcome all children and their families to St Mary’s, our happy and safe school, where together we explore, play, learn, create, inspire and grow.
The sad news of the death of Pope Francis has been announced, giving rise to prayers and reflection across our schools and communities. In his 12 years as our Pope and spiritual father, Pope Francis achieved a great deal. He promoted Gospel values, championed education and encouraged us all to do more to support one another, particularly the most vulnerable. It is fitting that as part of his last blessing on Easter Sunday he said: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands…for all of us are children of God!” His teaching and legacy will not be lost, and we will cherish all that he stood for and all that he asked. His compassion, kindness and his caring leadership was an inspiration to us all. Prayer for Eternal Rest Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
