A message from the School Chaplain at St. Thomas More Academy for Y6

Posted on June 29, 2020 by Mrs C. Garbutt • 0 Comments

Dear Year 6 pupils and families,

Please see below for a message from the School Chaplain at St. Thomas More Academy, Michael Thompson.

Dear All,

Every year at St. Thomas More we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Thomas More. It is an event that brings together our parishes, our staff, our students and families and we would mark the occasion with a joyful celebration of Mass followed by a Summer Fair and barbeque.

Due to the current circumstances we were unable to meet as a community as we usually would, however, with the support of Fr. Chris Hughes, a virtual celebration has been produced and we would like to extend an invitation to all our Year 6 pupils and their families to watch the celebration at home together.

The Mass has been pre-recorded and is now available to watch on our Academy website at https://stmacademy.org.uk/st-thomas-more-virtual-feast-day-mass-2020/

Take care, keep safe and God bless!

Michael
