May Altar & Special May Assembly

8th May 2026

This morning, our annual May Altar and special May Assembly took place following the readings. All pupils participated reverently, bringing flowers which were placed at Our Lady at the Grotto as a sign of love and devotion.

Together, we prayed:

Loving God,
Thank you for Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Thank you for her kindness, courage, and faith.
Help us to follow her example by being kind, brave, and loving each day.
Watch over our school, our families, and all those we love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
