Harvest Festival – A Heartfelt Thank You!

We have been overwhelmed by the incredible kindness and generosity of our St Monica’s families, who have donated so generously to celebrate this year’s Harvest Festival.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed! Father Ged is extremely grateful and will be collecting the donations, which will go towards supporting local people and families in need within our parish.

What a wonderful example of our St Monica’s community coming together to share God's love through kindness, compassion and generosity!

LiveSimply Award – Local Action 3

Our Harvest Festival collection is a wonderful example of Local Action 3 as part of our school's journey towards achieving the CAFOD LiveSimply Award. Through our donations, we are demonstrating what it means to live in solidarity with others, recognising that we all have a responsibility to care for those in need. By working together with our families and parish, we are making a meaningful difference in our local community and putting the principles of Catholic Social Teaching into practice.

Faith in Action

Jesus teaches us:

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat."

(Matthew 25:35)

Our Harvest Festival reminds us that faith is not simply something we believe, but something we live through our words and actions. By sharing what we have with others, we follow Jesus' example of love, compassion and service. Our children are learning that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference and that, as a Catholic community, we are called to recognise the dignity of every person and help those who need our support.

Thank you to all our wonderful St Monica’s families for helping us to live out our mission, put our faith into action and make a positive difference in the lives of others!
