The school enjoys strong links with our parish church and community. Our Parish Priest, Father Mathew Carney OSB is a regular visitor to the school, supporting our staff and pupils on their faith journey as well as being an active member of Governing Body. The school celebrate Sunday Mass each half term, with our pupils leading the liturgy. A large number of our upper phase children belong to the order of St Stephen in the parish and are regular altar servers at Mass. Our reception teacher is responsible for the preparation programme for First Holy Communion and Reconciliation in the Parish as well as leading the Church's Sunday children's liturgy offering. Upper phase children attend class Masses on a rota basis.
