Cathedral Primary: St Francis Assisi Group

 Cathedral Primary: St Francis Assisi Group

Children from Years 5 and 6 who are inspired by the example of St Francis of Assisi meet
regularly as our St Francis of Assisi Group. 

Their mission is to organise activities to promote outreach work to help people in need throughout the world. The example of St Francis of Assisi inspires a love of God’s gift of creation and a desire to protect it and help our brothers and sisters throughout the world. 

Our St Francis of Assisi Group supports a different project to help others every half term. Since Christmas St Francis of Assisi group have been busy organising two events to raise money for the ‘Cathedral Heating Fund’ this half term. We had a ‘Comfy Clothes Day’ and a ‘Hot Chocolate Day’ – all the money raised will be donated to support the heating bills for the Cathedral.

They have helped to collect money and items to support CAFOD, Mission Together, Lancaster and District Homeless Action, Lancaster’s Olive Branch, NISCU, our local parish and more. 

The children in this group show great dedication and commitment and help us all to live out our mission to bring God’s love and care to the whole world.

The prayer of St Francis has been put to music and is the familiar and popular hymn Make me a channel of your peace.
