Catholic Life and Mission
At St. Richard’s, our relationship with the parish is central to our Catholic life and mission. Two classes attend parish Mass weekly, with pupils participating through readings and altar service. The school choir and Key Stage 1 pupils contribute to parish celebrations with performances at Christmas and Easter.
Our GIFT Team supports parish Masses throughout the year, including special liturgies like Christmas and First Holy Communion. Additionally, the GIFT Team and Caritas Ambassadors support parish events such as the parish fair, while pupils make cards for parishioners at Christmas and Easter. These close, consistent connections ensure that the school-parish partnership remains an integral part of our identity, enriching the spiritual life of the entire school and wider community.
