St Malachy's 
Celebrating Our Catholic Life
As a worshipping community, we warmly encourage our parents and carers to join us for Masses and liturgies throughout the year, and to take part in faith‑building activities at home provided by The Wednesday Word or linked to the learning taking place in the classroom.
Religious Education Newsletter
Welcome back to a new school year. As we begin the Autumn term, we give thanks for the Harvest and the gift of God's creation, and remember our call to care for it, especially on CAFOD's Harvest Fast Day. We also look ahead to the feasts of All Saints and All Souls in early November.
This newsletter outlines what each year group is learning in Religious Education this half‑term. We hope you find it helpful, and we thank you for keeping our school community in your prayers.

Trust Rosary Challenge
✝️ Trust Rosary Challenge ✝️
On the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, our children joined primary schools across the Blessed Peter Snow and Bishop Konstant trusts by video call to pray the Joyful Mysteries together, led by Fr Sean Crawley. The children were calm, focused and joined in with every prayer. Thank you to Fr Sean and everyone who organised it.
Harvest Mass
✝️ Harvest Mass with Father Michael ✝️
We gathered as a school community to celebrate our Harvest Mass, led by Father Michael. It was a joyful occasion to give thanks for the blessings we receive and to reflect on the importance of sharing with others. Pupils brought offerings of food, which will be donated to support local families in need.
Rosary
✝️ Rosary at Breaktime ✝️
Children have been taking part in praying the Rosary during breaktime, creating a calm and reflective space in the middle of the school day. This has been a wonderful opportunity for pupils to deepen their faith and come together in prayer outside of class time.
Start of Year Mass
✝️ Start of Year Mass with Father Michael ✝️
We began the new school year with a special Mass led by Father Michael. It was a wonderful opportunity for our school community to come together in prayer and reflection as we look ahead to the year with hope and faith.
