Today,Monday 4th October we celebrate with the 7 other schools in our Trust the feast day of St Francis of Assisi.

This year it feels even more important to really celebrate and mark this special day as we are together. We will all watch an assembly compiled by all schools with prayers and special messages. 

For us at St Joseph’s our Chaplaincy team will present an assembly to each Key stage and share their understanding of St Francis and his  mission.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
