Serving ‘The Common Good’
‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ (Matthew 25:40)
An essential part of the Catholic faith, the key values of Catholic Social Teaching are found at the core of the Gospel. The key themes of Catholic Social Teaching are:
Human Dignity
Community & Participation
Care for Creation
Dignity in Work
Option for the Poor
Solidarity & Peace
The children, staff, parents and all involved in the community of St Cuthbert's are here to serve.
“Christ has no body now on earth but yours; no hands but yours; no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which the compassion of Christ must look out on the world.
Yours are the feet with which He is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which He is to bless His people.”
St Theresa of Avila
The children at St Cuthbert's have ben inspired by Pop Francis to commit to taking part in two awards which will show the positive and lasting impact our faith can have on our own school and the wider community.
The CAFOD LiveSimply award is an opportunity for our school to answer the call for us to care for our common home and stand in solidarity with our sisters and brothers around the world as a way of “protecting this world which God has entrusted to us”.
The Faith in Action Award, led by the Catholic Youth Ministry Federation, will allow our Year 6 pupils to take a leading role in helping the rest of the pupils at St Cuthbert's discover how faith shapes lives.
Seeking to serve the community helps us discover even more about ourselves, each other and God.
We are looking forward to sharing our journey with you.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We have really enjoyed hosting our annual coffee morning, raising funds for this incredibly worthwhile cause. Raising money in memory of someone you've lost to cancer is a great way to celebrate your loved one's life and make a difference to people living with cancer.
We also took the opportunity to offer parents and carers the chance to swap some uniform and give some pre-loved items a new home!
A huge thank you to everyone who supported us this week. We raised an amazing £250 for this fantastic cause!
