Chaplaincy Prayer

Lord, God our Father,

Thank you for our school community.

Just as you inspired St Francis of Assisi,

inspire us to work together

to spread your Word within our school

and across our family of schools.

Help us to create a community

where love shines through us.

Help us to embrace God’s creation

by showing others how to love and care for

our environment as Stewards of the Earth.

Let the world grow as we follow Your path

Let us bring peace and care to one another

and listen to God’s Good News.

May you guide us and our academy

today and always,

on a path of a shared mission.

St Francis pray for us.

 St.Francis of Assisi Catholic Academy Trust Chaplaincy Retreat Day

February 10th 2025

 We spent a day at St.Augustine's Church in Hoddesdon, focusing on the Jubilee Year, Pilgrims of Hope. We worked alongside other schools and were partnered with St.Joseph's in Hertford for all of our activities.

We enjoyed team games, learning the importance of co-operation, listening and working together, which was great fun.

Focus was on the icon commissioned by CAFOD,  depicting Luke 4:16-21, from Mulugeta Araya, an Ethiopian artist, to commemorate and celebrate the Jubilee Year 2025 

  We are all called to be Pilgrims of Hope. To recognise this in ourselves, we created self portraits to share with other teams and present in our reflective display.

Our final activity was to learn a song for the Jubilee, Song of Hope, One life Music. We are hoping to share this with our school community.

St.Francis of Assisi Catholic Academy Trust Chaplaincy Celebration

On October 3rd , we joined chaplaincy teams from all of the schools within our Trust to share our hopes for the year as Chaplaincy within the Trust. We also received our chaplaincy badges, which show St.Francis and the wolf.

We thought about ways in which we can serve others in our community and also launched this year's Franciscan Awards.
