CELEBRATION FUN DAY

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.

Donations to Charities

The whole school community came together by talking about acts of kindness they have recieved, wearing blue and saying NO to bullying during Kindness & Anti-Bullying Week.

The Pupil Chaplains celebrating their commissioning with Father Dearman and in action talking to Y3 about Vocations Day.
We love keeping our school clean, bright and welcoming. Below is a recent display the Year 6 children prepared for The Nativity For The Blessed Virgin Mary
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. Father Allen is pictured below telling the children about how the money the children raised last year is benefiting a village in Africa by providing a water pump.
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.
