Discipleship
“The disciple is someone who is trying each day to move from a ‘me-centred’ relationship with Christ, to one that seeks to hear and respond to what Christ may be asking of them.” Pastoral letter of Rt Rev. Patrick McKinney, our Bishop, March 2019
Through our personal encounters with Christ, we hear and respond to his invitation to be his disciples through scripture and readings from the Gospel.
Celebration of the Word
To fully understand God’s mission for us all on Earth, we hear his word through scripture each week by taking part in a range of Acts of Worship. On Mondays, Mr Lobb leads a Celebration of the Word that usually links to the previous day’s gospel.
Mass
Fr Mark, our parish priest, leads us in mass regularly to celebrate with our family, friends and parishioners. These masses are planned, prepared and delivered by the children and staff of St John Fisher linked to a specific theme to encourage us to reflect on our mission as disciples of God.
These masses always include a welcome mass at the start of the year and a Year 6 leavers mass. Other masses often include Epiphany, the feast day of ST Ralph Sherwin and the feast day of St John Fisher.
Some masses are at school but, for others, we walk to the parish church.
