GIFT (Growing In Faith Together) Team

The G.I.F.T Team

 

The G.I.F.T. Team was established to support and enhance the Catholic life of our school. As ambassadors, our team works to ensure that we follow in Jesus' footsteps and keep the Lord at the center of everything we do.

This year, the G.I.F.T. Team has been actively involved in organizing and participating in all of our school Masses, taking key roles in planning and carrying out important responsibilities. Additionally, the team helped collect food for Harvest and coordinated the donation to the Edlington Food Bank at ECO.

 

Together - we walk this path of faith.

First Mass of the school year 

 

The first Mass of the year, led by the GIFT team, was a special celebration marking the birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The team took on all the key roles during the Mass, starting with the introduction, followed by the readings and prayers. They also led the offertory, ensuring that every part of the liturgy ran smoothly and reverently. The Mass was a beautiful occasion, filled with prayer and reflection, as the community came together to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and the beginning of the new academic year

 

 

 

Supporting our local Community

 

In addition to demonstrating how to live out Jesus' teachings within our school community, the G.I.F.T. Team has also been actively involved in supporting our local community. With the guidance of Mrs. Keeton, we collected food donations from each class during the Harvest time and ensured that it reached those in need. Before the food was passed on, it was taken to church and Blessed by Fr Basil during our Harvest Mass. We then passed the donations to our local food bank at ECO, where the staff were incredibly grateful for the effort everyone had made to help others in need.

October - The Month of the Rosary

 

October is celebrated as the Month of the Rosary in the Church. During this time, our school takes the opportunity to learn about the significance of the rosary in class and create artwork inspired by it. The G.I.F.T. Team also led a presentation for the entire school, sharing more about the rosary’s meaning and history. During the assembly, we all prayed one decade together, fostering a sense of unity. The beautiful artwork created by the students was displayed at the front of the hall, adding to the reverence of the occasion.
