Maricourt High School
Presents Friday's Stations of the Cross
Throughout Lent Stations of the Cross have been presented by parishioners on a Friday night at 7:00pm. Attendance figures have been good as have the numbers watching via our live stream. The stations give people time to pray, meditate and reflect on the final journey of Christ to Calvary.
Continuing to build on our strong parish links with Maricourt High School on Friday 21st March, the school led the Stations of the Cross. Head Boy Harvey Woods and Chaplain Julia Ashes led the Parish in prayer. This is another example of how young people can have a role in the church and make such a positive contribution to parish life.
The Convent Chapel
This is building on work that the students have been doing in school, every Tuesday sixth form pupils have been leading morning prayer for staff in the Convent chapel. The chapel has been out of use since Sr Marie left the convent. The students have spent time cleaning the chapel and making it fit for use again, now it is used by pupils and staff for prayer time as the sisters would have wanted. For those of us from the Parish who spent many times in the chapel, attending Mass of a morning or as a place of prayer as a student or member of staff it is heart warming to know that the sister’s legacy of prayer is continuing in this way.
Julia Ashes (Maricourt's Chaplain) and Harvey Woods (Head Boy)
Let us say a big thank you to Julia and Harvey from Maricourt for giving their time to lead us in prayer, we will pray for them and hope that there will be other opportunities for them to join us in the Parish.
