HOPE IN THE FUTURE

As part of the Hope in the Future project Bishop John has asked Parish
groups to try to forge closer links with their local primary schools. Here
at St. Anne’s Crumpsall we have a very good relationship between the
School and the Parish.
The whole school regularly attend Mass in Church.
Confessions are heard class by class throughout the year.

Year 3 (Sacramental programme year) produce a service of Stations of
the Cross in Church during Lent and parishioners and parents are invited
to come along and take part in this devotion.
This year group also invite all their prayer partners and parishioners age
60 + to a tea and Christmas music afternoon just before the end of the
Christmas term, which is always great fun.

The children perform various Christmas concerts and Nativity plays both
in Church and in school to which they invite the Parish.
Many other events also take place; different things each year for
instance the School choir are preparing music to lead the singing at the
Lent Station Mass here at St. Anne’s

HOW CAN WE ALL BUILD ON THIS?

I think we all know the answer to the question!
We can all support the events. Come to the Masses at which the children
are present. Support the Stations of the Cross devotions. Come along to the Sacramental
programme First Confessions and First Holy Communions. Whenever
School invite the Parish to some event please make an effort to respond
and support and most importantly be present.

God Bless.
