St Mary’s Catholic High School / 30 Jun

After a long journey across France and Germany, our Music Tour has finally arrived at our hotel 'Hotel Josef' in Salzburg, Austria. The site is beautiful with lots of open space and sport activities for the pupils to enjoy in their free time this afternoon. After a meal we'll be rehearsing ready for our upcoming concerts. Then we'll be heading to bed for a well earned rest ready for a full day of exciting sightseeing tomorrow.

Day 3 in Lourdes has been very busy. We started with Mass at 10am which included the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Many found this a moving time where our young people placed their hands on the shoulders of their pilgrims. This was followed by the Hallam group photo on the steps of the Rosary Basilica. Students will be given the opportunity to purchase a print of the official photo later this week. After lunch, students had free time before the Diocesan candle was lit by Fr Lee. We then took part in the Blessed Sacrament Procession which took place in the Underground Basilica due to the heat. This is the time when many of the miracles in Lourdes are said to have occurred and it can be a powerful service for many of our pilgrims who are praying for their own miracle of healing here in Lourdes. We enjoyed a delicious meal before having more time to explore the shops or relax at the hotel. Then, tonight, most of the Hallam Youth walked down to the Grotto for a period of prayer and quiet reflection. We were reminded that even though our plans in life may change, finding our purpose is essential. Just after midnight we returned to our rooms ready for another busy day tomorrow. In the morning (Mon 30th June) we will have Mass in the Grotto at 10am (9am UK time) which can be watched on the livestream.

Today has been our second day in Lourdes and it has been another scorcher. After breakfast our students met their pilgrim for the week and pushed the wheelchairs to our first Mass. During this Mass, everyone's hands were blessed as this week we will all act as helpers in different ways. During the Homily, we found out more about Jack Trainer, a soldier from Liverpool, who was injured during the First World War. After visiting Lourdes he was miraculously healed and was able to walk again. It was only last year that this miracle was officially declared the 71st miracle of Lourdes. After lunch, students had the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, followed by some free time where many took the chance to cool down with an ice cream. After dinner, the Hallam Diocese led the Torchlight Procession, with Mr Bennett taking on the challenge of carrying the statue of the Virgin Mary alongside 3 other members of staff from other schools. We are very proud of our students who have made an excellent start on this pilgrimage - especially in how they have treated their pilgrim with dignity and respect as well as those who have already volunteered to take on a variety of roles during the Masses and Services.

It is the end of our first day in Lourdes and everyone is ready for a good night's sleep. This afternoon Hallam Youth went on an orientation walk around Lourdes. We saw where St Bernadette lived and grew up, we saw the Lourdes Fort and the Domain with the stunning Rosary Basilica. After a short amount of free time we sat down for a delicious dinner. This was followed by a quiz which was organised by the Hallam Youth leaders. We have a very busy day tomorrow and the weather is going to get even hotter. We will keep all of our St Mary's community in our prayers as we journey as "Pilgrims of Hope" this week.

We pray for the soul of Terry Drew, who was the Headteacher of St. Mary's Primary School 1973-1977. This was during the time when St. Mary's Primary School and High School shared the same site at Cross Street. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace, Amen.

We are very proud of the U13 County Rounders Teams performance at the competition this afternoon hosted by Lady Manners School. The girls finished 2nd place and Sophie was voted the star player of the tournament. Mr R Hancock has been very impressed with how the team have progressed with their batting and fielding skills. A huge well done to all involved!

We pray for the soul of Maureen Donagher (Pickup), who died last Wednesday. Maureen was a much loved and respected maths teacher, who taught at St Mary's throughout the 70s and 80s. She inspired a love of maths in her pupils and is remembered fondly. We also keep her family in our prayers at this time.

As a part of our recent 'Gaudium et Spes Day', it was a privilege to present Ashgate Hospice with the cheque for the last year's fundraising, alongside a chair that the Year 7 woodworking club had made for the residents. We are so proud that the efforts of our students and parents throughout the year raised an incredible £14,895. As a part of the presentation, staff from Ashgate Hospice spoke of the important work they do for our Chesterfield community, and wanted to thank everyone who contributed. A reminder that we are still collecting sponsorship for this year's sponsored walk, https://www.justgiving.com/page/st-marys-catholic-high-school-5

Our Year 12 artists had a fantastic trip to London on Thursday and Friday. The students were absolutely fantastic; we visited galleries, rode the London Underground, had lunch in Covent Garden, had a great group evening meal and enjoyed Les Misérables at the West End. Staff were so impessed by the students' commitment to finding inspiration in the Tate Britain, National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Modern.

Members of the St. Mary's School Parliament, alongside Y12 Politics students, have spent an extraordinary day at 10 Downing Street. Our pupils received a guided tour of the state rooms, received a special politics lesson in the Prime Minister's Dining Room by Mr Thomson and were privileged to hold a mock cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room. Following lunch in the Rose Garden, pupils signed their names in the visitor's book before meeting one of Downing Street's most famous residents; Larry the Cat. Our pupils were exemplary throughout their visit, and received numerous compliments from Downing Street staff. We are extremely grateful for this unique opportunity and for the welcome we received. We also wish to thank our MP, Toby Perkins, for taking the time out of his day to welcome us to London.
