Prayer and liturgy is the heartbeat of our school through daily prayer, regular celebration of the word, pastoral creative prayer in house groups and regular Holy Mass with Fr Michael Griffiths as a school and parish family.

As a school we follow in the cyclical journey of the Universal Church in our observance of the liturgical seasons. Changing our liturgical colours, celebrating special feast days, Saints days and other important Holy days.

At St Bede’s, we aim to provide thought – provoking, engaging experiences throughout our Celebration of the Word. Prayer is an important, inclusive and integral part of every school day. Celebration of the word is carefully planned so that everyone can participate fully and enter into an experience of prayer which encourages children to grow in relationship with God, the world and those around us.

As pilgrims of hope, Pope Francis and Bishop Stephen ask us to put Catholic Social Teaching into action, showing support for our brothers and sisters and our common home. Therefore, we meet regularly in our House groups for pastoral prayer so we may journey as pilgrims together.

We have a wonderful relationship with our parish of St Bede’s and with Fr. Michael Griffiths. We come together as one community when we celebrate mass here at school and at St Bede’s Church.
