Jubilee Launch Day

Friday 24th January marked the launch of the Jubilee Year of Hope in our schools. Our church has a Jubilee every 25 years and it is a time when Catholics renew their relationship with God through prayer, reflection and action.

In school our Mini Vinnies delivered an assembly telling us all about the Jubilee Year of Hope.

When leaving the hall we were all given our CAFOD prayer and sticker. We left through our own Jubilee door.

In the afternoon, as house groups, we took part in a pilgrimage of prayer around our school. This involved travelling to different prayer stations in our classrooms. Father Jonathon joined us on our journey and completed tasks with us. Here is a selection of some of our work.

Here, we thought about the storms in our lives and how God gives us hope.

At this station, we gave thanks for the blessings in our lives and the doors God opens for us.

We coloured pause buttons to remind us in our busy lives to take time to stop and reflect on what is important.

We all chose and held a stone and thought about our hopes and dreams for the future. We placed it on a path and asked God to guide us on our journey through life.

At this station we looked at a variety of doors and thought about who might be behind them. We all wrote a prayer.

We made chains of hope by writing the names of people who give us hope and prayers for people who are in need of hope.

We will continue our faith journey throughout this year with a series of events. We will keep you updated on our progress.
