Easter Message 2023 – from Bishop Marcus to schools

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
At this stage in the calendar, when we draw close to the summit of the Liturgical Year - the Sacred Paschal Triduum, we celebrate with reverence the passion and death of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and we look forward with joy to celebrating at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night and on Easter Sunday morning his resurrection from the dead.
As we come to the end of this term, it is also a time for many students in our schools which coincides with an intense period of study in preparation for examinations in the summer. For young people, it is a time of hope but it can be a time of anxiety also. What is most important though, is that their time in school is a time when they can flourish: in mind, body and spirit. Christ came that we might

Nation in mourning

Nation in mourning

At this time of national mourning the Board of the Saint Teresa of Calcutta Multi Academy Trust, its Executive and wider school community would like to offer our thoughts and prayers to the Royal family at this very sad time. Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, has paid tribute to The Queen:

“On 21 April 1947, on her twenty-first birthday, Princess Elizabeth said, ‘I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service.’

“Now, seventy-five years later, we are heartbroken in our loss at her death, and so full of admiration for the unfailing way in which she fulfilled that declaration.

“Even in my sorrow, shared with so many around the world, I am filled with an immense sense of gratitude for the gift to

Easter Message 2022

Dear all

Theme : The Family

As we prepare to celebrate Holy week and Easter this year are thoughts and prayers are with those less fortunate than ourselves. The Global Pandemic has left its mark on most families, the continued conflict in the Ukraine sees families decimated and the prospect of further financial difficulties for families closer to home brings into sharp focus the importance of ‘The Family’ and looking after each other.

What does family mean to you? Is it mum, dad, brother, sister? Is it the extended family of uncles, aunts, grandparents and long-time family friends you’ve always considered as close as relatives? Perhaps it is your neighbour, class, church group or the family of humanity of which we are all part. As we reflect on our own journey during this holy time, and regardless of how your family is constructed, remember how important the family is too
