CAFOD Club reflect upon our Mission Statement
CAFOD Club had a very successful first meeting today and enjoyed thinking about our Mission Statement, ‘Together, we learn, love and grow with Jesus,’ and how they will live it out this year.
45Our CAFOD Club is a place for children to put their faith into action and support the Catholic Life of our school. We meet each week, and through games and projects, children learn about the wider world and take part in activities to reach people who urgently need help and support. We also focus on our local community and support those in need too.
Our CAFOD Club aims:
PRAY to God to give us determination and courage to help others.
GIVE to those who are less fortunate.
ACT like Jesus taught us.
To begin the school year, our CAFOD Club spent time reflecting on our Mission Statement and how we will ‘Learn, love and grow with Jesus’ this year. We then brought this into each class so all children had the opportunity to share their ideas and staff spent time together reflecting upon this also.
Leading KS2 Prayer and Liturgy and sharing how CAFOD helps our global community.
We chose World Gifts using the money raised from our Christmas Message Board. This is what we chose and the reasons why.
Planning and leading Prayer and Liturgy to celebrate the renewal of the objectives of our Mission Statement.
Choosing the winners of our Catholic Social Teaching logo competition with the help of our Chair of Governors.
At CAFOD Club we decided what we would like to put on our focus table throughout Lent and which words and symbols reflect what we are doing to get closer to God this Lent.
Our CAFOD Club set up the May Altar so everyone has a space to pray to Our Lady and ask her to watch over us this Jubilee Year.
CAFOD Club led our prayer and liturgy for our Jubilee Pledges.
Throughout the Jubilee Year we have undertaken an action each month to bring hope to others. CAFOD Club decided to create prayer packs to send home during the summer holidays to each family so families can explore hope in the world around us.
