Catholic Life and Mission
We warmly welcome our parents and families to participate in our prayer life at St. Richard’s as we recognise the vital role of families in the faith formation of our pupils. Throughout the year, parents and families are invited to join us for class assemblies, parent stay & prays, celebration assemblies and special masses/celebrations of the word.
Class 3 hosted a Stay and Pray session, where parents joined them for a special time of reflection, listened to a powerful Gospel reading, and took a moment to reflect on the message of finding Jesus’s voice in their everyday lives. It was a beautiful opportunity to connect with faith and deepen their understanding. We thank everyone who attended and made this event so meaningful.
The children and family members of Class 7 took part in a peaceful pause for ‘Stay and Pray’ – a moment to reflect, connect, and find calm with the word of God. Thank you to all the family members who joined us, it was lovely to share the word with you.
Class 10 (Yr 5) rounded off a wonderful week of Lent with a stay-and-pray Celebration of the Word. We listened to the story of Jesus’s time in the wilderness, reflecting on how we can use Lent as a time of self-improvement and service. Thank you to all the family members who joined us; it was lovely to share our special, prayerful time with you.
The children in Class 8 (Yr 4) planned and delivered a class Celebration of the Word in the Prayer Room. Thank you to so many of our parents and family members that came to join us for our Stay & Pray – it was wonderful to spend time praying and reflecting together.
Class 9 invited our parents in for a Stay and Pray session. It was a fantastic opportunity to show our parents what we do in our weekly child-led Celebration of the Word.
