Message from our Chaplain Mairie
St Bernadette Relic tour
We were delighted to be invited to take part in the welcoming of St Bernadette to St Werburgh’s in Chester. We decided to take representatives from each of our Bernadette form groups.
When we first arrived, along with many other high school and primary schools we had the opportunity to learn about Bernadette and the reason for the tour. We learnt about what a Relic means to the Catholic faith – that is a way of connecting to a person who inspires us. The students were among the first to see inside the church and to spend time at the reliquary of St Bernadette. We then wrote some prayers and had a blessing of Lourdes water. When we returned to the schools marquee, we celebrated Mass via live stream. The Mass was celebrated by Bishop Mark and many other priests from our diocese.
Thank you to the Shrewsbury Youth Mission Team for organising the day. It will have a lasting effect on our students and make Bernadette a much more real influence on our school life.
It was lovely to return to our usual celebration of the new school year by welcoming Fr Paul, from St Wilfrid’s, to say Mass for all of us. We were able to launch the new Mission Statement which reminds us of our daily desire to make sure that ‘Everyone Matters’. In his homily, Fr Paul reminded us of the generous love that God has for each of us. We also remembered Queen Elizabeth in our prayers during this time of mourning. 
Rhys Morillo competed in the Archery GB junior masters in Cheltenham on Saturday. This is an invitation only event by Archery GB for archers who have achieved Junior Master Bowmen status by shooting very high scores in record status events this summer season. 
Next Thursday we will be joining together as a community to raise much needed funds for Cancer Research.
Year 7 had their first football competition of the year on Tuesday evening held at Middlewich High School. The students were a credit to the school and put in some fantastic performances. Well done to all involved!
