Venerable Margaret Sinclair Novena There is a Novena in the Oratory every Monday at 12.40pm asking for the intercession of the Venerable Margaret Sinclair. Our main intention will be for members of our school community including family and friends who are ill. We hope that parents, families and friends will be able to join us for this Novena. We would also invite anyone who cannot manage to our Oratory at this time to join with us in prayer.
The Rosary Join us to pray The Rosary every Friday in the Oratory, 12.25 1pm. The Rosary is a prayer we can all say together with Mary, the Mother of God, who always grants our request. The Rosary is my favourite prayer. Pray, pray much. Say the Rosary everyday Pope John Paul II (1978-2005)
