The Madonna del Rosario Procession
The Procession in honour of Our Lady of the Rosary, involves the carrying of religous emblems across Manchester city centre, towards the Town Hall.
The Procession is accompanied by the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Councillors, memebers from the Italian consul, women in colourful regional dress and children in First Holy Communion Dress (many from Our Lady of Grace).
The events roots can be traced back to 1888 with a vibrant Italian community having settled locally at that time.

Each Autumn at Harvest time we collect donations of money and food and remember that families in this country and further afield do not always have access to a healthy diet.

The whole school recently attended a celebration assembly where the Year Six children were awarded their Gold Ties in recognition of how they live our school mission.
