The Pope has chosen to focus on Mary for the next two years’ World Youth celebrations, culminating in Panama in 2019. He has asked young people to journey with Mary, describing her as ‘a role model to be imitated’.
With this in mind, St.Anne’s have begun to follow the Year of Mary. Each month has a theme and we spend time in school working in various ways on the theme.
- For example, in January the theme was ‘Families’ and FS1 and FS2 invited parents in to share the work that they do.
- In February, the theme was ‘The sick’ and we welcomed visitors from Grace House who shared with us the tremendous work that they do with children who are ill.
- Plans for March include helping the hungry and the needy.
Soon we will be sending out Year of Mary bags so that the families of St.Anne’s can share in this Year of Mary at home too.
