Corpus Christi Church and School Grounds As work on the extension of the school comes to an end we as Church and School will be in a better position to address the condition of the service road and the exterior lighting. We are probably best to wait for the cold weather to pass before we start any major work on the road. In the meantime you are asked to be vigilant of pot holes and take extra care. Notable Ash Wednesday St. David’s Day St. Chad St. Casimir Mothering Sunday St. Patrick’s Day St. Joseph The Annunciation Palm Sunday Easter Dates February 18th March 1st. March 2nd March 4th March 15th March 17th. March 19th March 25th March 29th April 5th Education Sunday: 1st February This Sunday is Education Sunday. On this day we are reminded why Education and Catholic Schools are important in the life and mission of the Church. The first reason why Catholic schools exist is to place Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church at the centre of peoples lives. The second reason is to assist parents in fulfilling their role as educators. The third reason is to be at the service of the local Church and finally the fourth reason is to contribute to the creation of a society that is highly educated, skilled and cultured. On this Sunday let us pray for all those who teach and work in and for our schools. May they be given every respect as they continue to bring variety, joy and inspiration to those children who have been entrusted to their care, and may their lives proclaim the Gospel Values to all who meet them. Candlemas Day: The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, 2nd February, falls on a Monday this year.
