St Joseph's Catholic Primary School
On Wednesday 22nd October the children will be attending church at 10am for a Whole School Mass. All friends and families are welcome to attend.
On Friday 24th October we will be ending our Autumn half term with a ' Be the light' disco in school. It will start at 3.30pm- 5.30pm. The children can bring clothes to change into, and tickets will be available to buy from the office.
Food and refreshments will be available to buy at the event.

St Godric's Catholic Primary School
We have our Y4 Mini Vinnie Commissioning prayer service at 2.30pm on Monday 20th October. Any parishioners who would like to join us, would be very welcome.

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School
St. Thomas More School are still seeking some volunteers, amongst our catechists or parishioners, to help run some sessions to Year 4, ahead of their First Holy Communion Preparation. These sessions would be run every few weeks, after school, from 3:30pm until 4:30pm.
The idea behind them is to extend the children's learning and knowledge (from what they learn in the school curriculum) about the blessed Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Please contact St. Thomas More school office, for more information, or if you think you could assist.
We look forward to seeing our previous students, at the Year 7 St. Leonard's Welcome Mass. This will take place on Thursday 23rd October at 6pm in St. Joseph's Church. We hope our children and families can join us at this, always lovely, celebration.
Finally, the friends of St. Thomas More are hosting a candy floss and toffee apple making session and a Halloween Disco on Tuesday 21st and Thursday 23rd October. We're so lucky to have the wonderful support of these families, on the PTA, who can help organise and run these exciting activities. We always need the additional support and implore anyone, who can give up a little bit of time to support our school, to get in contact with our PTA chair or the school office.

St Leonard's Catholic Secondary School
Year 7 Mass of Welcome: We will be celebrating all our Year 7 pupils at our annual Mass of Welcome, on Thursday 23rd October. Mass will take place at 6pm at St. Joseph’s Church, Gilesgate. More information will be shared on our social media and via Arbor to our Year 7 families.
