All Hallows Catholic College Newsletter Christmas Term
SPECIALISM SUCCESS Last week Miss Easter and Mr Diamond visited our partner school in China, Xi'an No. 85 Middle School together with 5 other teachers from primary schools in Cheshire. The students were all very eager to practise their English and it was especially impressive to hear the students discussing in English whether states should possess nuclear weapons! The visit has helped to strengthen the ties between our schools and the partnership looks set to continue when a group of Chinese teachers visit All Hallows in January.
COLLEGE PRAYER Prayer For Prisons Week Lord, you offer freedom to all people. We pray for those in prison. Break the bonds of fear and isolation that exist. Support with your love prisoners and their families and friends, prison staff and all who care. Heal those who have been wounded by the activities of others, especially the victims of crime. Help us to forgive one another, to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly together with Christ in His strength and in His Spirit, now and every day. Amen.
