Inspirational talk by Bishop John

Some of our school chaplains, staff and governors went to listen to Bishop John talk about his recent visit to Sierra Leone and Liberia.  The chaplains were lucky enough to meet him and were inspired by his mission to reduce, reuse, recycle.

Bishop John's visit to our school.

We were delighted to welcome Bishop John to our school for the first time after the Pupil Chaplains wrote inviting him to speak about his work with Cafod. 

He was welcomed by the Head Boy and Girl and some Pupil Chaplains. Then after a tour of the school he chatted with the Pupil Chaplains about their important role in school and gave some good advice about keeping our beliefs strong as we get older. Next he inspired the whole school and governors with his talk about the work of Cafod that he has witnessed. Bishop John encouraged us to learn from the example of those who have little but share much. The visit ended with a beautiful liturgy prepared and led by the pupils. 

Thank you Bishop John, we hope you come again soon!
