Catholic Life
Our Journey in Faith
The Catholic life of The Willows is rich in opportunities for children to encounter God and to deepen their relationship with Him as a loving, compassionate Father. On this page we aim to share with you and celebrate many of the elements which make our Catholic school so special. Here you will find information to help families, the Parish and the school work together in supporting the development of our children’s faith.
Our Parish
At The Willows we have such strong links with our Parish community. We are so lucky to have the church next to our school grounds. Father Andrew is a regular visitor in school and each class in turn always enjoys joining the Parish for weekday Mass on a Tuesday. We are delighted that so many children join the Parish for Mass on a Sunday. Come along and join our celebrations. Mass begins at 6:00pm on Saturday or 11:00am every Sunday.
