Jubilee Year 2025

Jubilee year 5
Jubilee year 3
Pope Francis has announced that 2025 will be a year of Jubilee – an event that happens every 25 years.
 
The theme for the upcoming Jubilee is “Pilgrims of Hope”.
The 2025 Jubilee will begin in Advent 2024 and will run until the Feast of the Epiphany in 2026.
 
Although this is a global celebration, Pope Francis invites dioceses throughout the world to mark the Jubilee in their own unique way and we look forward to sharing a whole range of different activities, events, and resources with you during the Jubilee year.  
Within our Salford Diocese, mini anchors have been given to all schools and three large anchors are travelling around the schools throughout the year.  The anchor is a symbol of hope and symbolises  being held firm and steady by God through life’s challenges and difficulties.
 
Here at St Mary’s we have planned events to celebrate the Jubilee Year and to journey through this time together in joy and hope.  Events have included participating in CAFOD’s Big Lent Walk and celebrating a Pledge Day.

Following Boris Johnson’s 8pm announcement we now know that as of midnight tonight the country has entered a new period of Lockdown, a Lockdown that includes the closure of school. 

School will be open for the children of Key Workers and for pupils who are deemed vulnerable. All pupils will be provided with work in order for them to keep learning. 

Tonight’s announcement was very short notice for you as parents and also for us as a Staff. Tomorrow, by 11am there will be three tasks on the school website for each Class to complete as their Tuesday learning. However, School will be closed to ALL pupils tomorrow. 

 

Staff, however, will be in school preparing for the rest of the Lockdown. Through tomorrow we will prepare school to make it safe for Key worker pupils and vulnerable children to return. 

We will send out a form for you to apply for a place in the Keyworker Bubbles and we will let you know more about how children will be learning remotely. We will do our very best to re-open to Key Worker children and vulnerable pupils by Wednesday. 

I am aware of how difficult this is for you all, School closing creates a multitude of problems for everyone but data surrounding this awful disease dictates that this is a necessary step. As ever, the safety and health of everyone must be a priority. 

Thank you for your continued support and we will be in frequent contact over the next few days. 

Many thanks
