Liturgical Life & Prayer and Liturgy

The Catholic Faith is at the very centre of everything we do within St Mary’s Catholic Primary School.

Our pupils are taught to recognise the importance of their faith and respond to all forms of liturgy and worship with respect and reverence.

Within our school, we have a rich liturgical life in that the experiences we provide are wide ranging. Prayer and Liturgy takes place daily and, with the use of our Prayer and Liturgy bags and themed Bible passages, children can easily take the lead in preparing for this special celebration. Within school, we also encourage regular shared celebrations of worship with parents, staff, governors and the parish. Alongside this, we always start our day with our morning prayer and then pray again before lunch and at the end of the day.

The Celebration of the Eucharist and prayer is of great importance to our school. Our Parish Priest, Fr Joe, celebrates Mass and other services in school. Children also visit our parish church at a variety of times throughout the school year, special occasions for all those within our Leyland St Mary’s family.
