A Feast for our Founder, St John Henry Newman

Friday 9 October marked a great annual feast for our founder, St John Henry Newman, and the first opportunity for us to celebrate this feast since his canonisation by Pope Francis last October.

Friday 9 October marked a great annual feast for our founder, St John Henry Newman, and the first opportunity for us to celebrate this feast since his canonisation by Pope Francis last October. The date also marked the 175th anniversary of St John Henry Newman's conversion.

The whole school community were able to celebrate Mass with Fr David Elliott holding three separate masses to allow all to attend in their correct social bubbles. The chapel was well decorated and the choir sang the final mass.
