Mission Team
What is Mission Team?
Hebrews 10:24-25: "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another."
The Mission Team aim to strengthen the Catholic Life of our school by helping children deepen their faith and encouraging them to live out Gospel Values each day. The Mission Team are “God’s chosen ambassadors on Earth,” guiding younger children in how to live each day like Jesus.
As ambassadors, the Mission Team try to show how to live with joy and faith by helping others to grow in faith, confidence, and love. The Mission Team try to uphold the Gospel Values each day within our school and wider community.
The Mission Team lead and support prayer life by helping deliver assemblies, class prayer sessions, prayer groups, and Mass. They offer blessings using Holy Water to staff and younger pupils as a sign of God’s love and protection.
The Mission team support outreach efforts lead by other pupil leadership groups, by helping to raise funds for local and national charities such as CAFOD, Caritas and Loaves and Fishes.
Children apply for the Mission Team by writing a letter explaining why they wish to be on the Mission team and what they would bring to the team.
Members of the current Mission Team interview children who want to be part of the team.
Visit to see the relics of Blessed Carlo Acutis
Members of the Mission Team visited St Patrick’s Church in Manchester on 30th January, to venerate the relics of Blessed Carlo Acutis. During the visit, pupils learned about the life of Carlo Acutis, a young Catholic who lived in modern times and used his love of technology to share and strengthen faith. They were taught what relics are and why they are treated with great respect within the Catholic Church. The visit supported the children’s learning in Religious Education and helped them reflect on how faith can be lived out in everyday life through kindness, service, and the use of personal gifts.
