Please keep all our schools and colleges in your prayers during the month of May. Exam time can be very stressful for the students and staff involved. I wish everyone well in the coming weeks. My exam prayer was always the Memorare.
The Education Department is saying good bye to these fabulous Schools Officers this Summer. Thank you Kathy, Barbara and Win for your outstanding service to Catholic Education.
Today the Department of Education says goodbye to Cath O' Leary. A wonderful servant to Catholic Education in the Archdiocese of Liverpool. She will be missed by us all. Enjoy retirement Cath. You deserve it.
Please pray for all who work in our schools as they near the end of term. Our schools continue to face challenges with health issues, workload and financial pressures. Many are tired and exhausted and yet they will ensure that each day left in the term is one full of joy.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." - John 3:16-
All of us who work on Education have the staff and students of Robb Elementary school in our prayers this morning. Schools and Colleges should be safe places of learning.
To all working in our schools thank you for all that your commitment and service. I recall, feeling every annoyed, when people used to say to me that the Summer term was a winding down term. Nothing could be further from the truth. Keep going.

Watching Jesus of Nazareth 1977 again. Remember crying my eyes out as a child at the crucifixion. Was my go to resource in my early days teaching RE. Wheeling in the tv and video recorder. Different times.
Been off the social media for the past week due to taking some leave. Lovely break and grateful for the time away. Wishing everyone in our wonderful schools and colleges a lovely half term. You deserve it.
