Our Lady and St Joseph's

In preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year “Pilgrims of Hope”, 2024 has been designated a Year of Prayer by Pope Francis. He asks us all to join in a great “symphony” of prayer, “to renew our desire to be in the presence of the Lord, to listen to him and to adore him.”

The Lord’s Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer offers us a great opportunity to go back to the basics of prayer.

Our Father,

Who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Thy name;

Thy Kingdom come,

Thy will be done

on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Blessed Carlo Acutis

Blessed Carlo Acutis is scheduled to be the first millennial saint as he will be canonised in April 2025. Because of his devotion to the Eucharist, his youthfulness and his life in the 21 century, he was chosen to be the patron of Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust.

We are delighted that a relic of Blessed Carlo will visit our Trust between 26-30 March 2025 and there will be opportunities to attend Mass in the presence of the relic.

Please visit the website on the poster for further information.
