St Godric's Catholic Primary School


We are looking forward to celebrating our First Holy Communion at the end of next week  — Saturday 6th June at 10 am.

We are so grateful to those who have kindly offered to be prayer sponsors; the children and the school truly appreciate your prayers.


 

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School


Year 5 pupils will be taking part in a series of three sessions as part of a mini police project, delivered by Durham Constabulary. Meanwhile, Years 5 and 6 will be embarking on an action-packed and memorable visit to London, including a tour of the Houses of Parliament.

We are also delighted to celebrate our Year 4 and Year 5 children who will be making their First Holy Communion on Saturday 13th June in St. Joseph’s Church at 10.00am — an important and special milestone in their faith journey.

Our youngest pupils in Nursery and Reception will enjoy a lovely trip to Hall Hill Farm, which always proves to be a wonderful experience.

Year 6 pupils will also begin a range of transition activities as they prepare for the next step in their education and the move to secondary school.  It promises to be another busy and rewarding half term at St Thomas More.



St Leonard's Catholic Secondary School




We are hosting a Durham Martyrs’ Mass on Sunday, 12th July at 10.00am in the School.  We hope you  can join us for the celebration of Mass together.  Refreshments will be served after Mass in the school gardens. 



 

Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at St. Godric’s has been cancelled on 7th June due to the Eucharistic Procession taking place at Ushaw.


Ushaw - On Sunday 7th June, Ushaw will be hosting a Eucharistic Procession with Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, starting at 3pm in St. Cuthbert’s Chapel. Weather permitting, the procession will go through Ushaw’s beautiful gardens, returning to the Chapel for Benediction.

The Corpus Christi procession in honour of the Blessed Sacrament is one of the highlights of the year at Ushaw. Everyone is invited to be a part of this important and enjoyable event.  There is no charge for this event, but please sign up below to help Ushaw to estimate numbers.   Register here
