Father Boniface serves as our school's chaplain. The kids were overjoyed on January 13 when they finally got to see him. He greeted the children and told them he would be celebrating Mass at St. Chads on a regular basis. We want to be able to invite parents to join us for Mass to help the children on their journey to grow in faith and love. We will hold our first Mass on or around January 27th, and I will provide more information then. If you have the chance to meet Father Boniface, I hope you'll give him a hearty welcome. Although he is ready to welcome everyone and resides in the parish of St. Peters and St. Thomas Mores in Middleton, he completely understands and supports the diverse population that the school serves. We will be able to offer the Sacramental Programme to children in Years 3 and 4 and assist Year 5 students in preparing for their First Holy Communion thanks to this wonderful opportunity. Since Christ is the focal point of our school, we warmly welcome everyone to our community and value variety as well as respect for one another. In order for everyone to fulfil their potential, live their lives to the fullest, and grow in their faith and love, we shall defend and spread the gospel's core principles.
