St Monica’s had the pleasure of participating in the Big Lent Walk! Students from every year group joined in this meaningful event, raising funds to support our global family. Different year groups found creative ways to take part – from walking around the playground to Year 3, who completed a special walk to St Monica’s Church.

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

(Matthew 25:40)

We were inspired by the words of Jesus. This reminder encouraged our students to walk with compassion, knowing that every step and every donation helps make a difference in the lives of those in need. Seeing the whole school community come together in this way was truly heartening.

Faith in Action 

Through the Big Lent Walk, our students have put their faith into practice. By walking and fundraising for others, they have shown that faith is not just something we believe, but something we live out. Their efforts demonstrate kindness, generosity, and solidarity – values that lie at the heart of the teachings of Jesus and our school community.

This initiative also supports our journey towards the CAFOD Live Simply Award, specifically Global Action 1, which focuses on taking meaningful action to support people living in poverty. By participating in the Big Lent Walk, our students are actively contributing to global solidarity and learning the importance of working together to make a positive difference in the world.
