St Mary’s Catholic High School / 15 Jun

Mr Thomson, Mrs Arthur and Mrs Donnelly are taking on the challenge of the Great North Run to raise money for Ashgate Hospice. As we know, this is a vital charity that provides compassionate care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families. To help make a real difference they are hoping for donations, no matter how small, to support the hospice’s invaluable services and keep all their beds open. https://www.justgiving.com/page/teachers-1?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=EM

We pray for the soul of Pam Barber, who has passed away. Pam was a much-loved French teacher who taught at St Mary's for many years, throughout the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. She will be remembered with great fondness by both staff and pupils.
