Caritas Ambassadors

We are proud to introduce the Caritas Ambassadors for 2025-2026. The children were blessed and welcomed into the service of our school in the Mercy Mass by Father Michael in September. We celebrated our Mercy Mass and reminded our school community about the importance of the Mercy Charism in our school.

The Caritas Ambassadors will be taking part in the masses and liturgies throughout the school year.

Thank you children for your dedicated service.

This year, the Caritas Ambassadors will visit Feed, the Food Bank in St Albans to find out more about this charity. As a result of this visit, from previous years they helped to organise our Harvest Appeal and a great deal of items were collected to support families in need in St Albans.

On Sunday 5th February, Racial Justice Sunday took place. The Caritas Ambassadors led our assembly thinking about what it means to be fair and just and how we should treat everyone with kindness. We talked about us all being part of the human race and we are all united! We also sang a lovely song called ‘ Children United’
