The Feast Day of St Edmund Campion was celebrated today with a mass delivered by Rev Fr Sean Gough.
This is a hugely important day in our Catholic school calendar, where we celebrate the feast day of our patron saint. Blessed Edmund Campion (1540-1581) was an English Roman Catholic Jesuit priest and martyr, canonised in 1970 by Pope Paul V1 as one of the Forty Martyrs of England.
All students and invited guests came together to pray and remember St Edmund Campion.

Today is the First Sunday of Advent and the start of a four-week observation which always begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. It represents Isaiah and other prophets in the Bible that predicted the coming of Jesus.
The second Sunday of Advent represents the Bible. The third represents Mary, the mother of Jesus. The fourth represents John the Baptist, Jesus’ cousin, who told the people in Israel to get ready for Jesus’ teaching.
