This year we have developed our work with year 5/6 & G.C.S.E students.

Archbishop Sentamu Academy
At the end of our bike ride extravaganza, Fr George and I had the privilege of visiting Archbishop Sentamu Academy in Hull. The school is a new build and provides a context of community in an area currently under a process of regeneration. During the visit we met with the school Chaplain and some of the students in […]
Novices go to Hilfield
At the beginning of May, Fabian nCR and I attended the third in a rolling programme of internovitiate study courses.
