• Rosary Sunday 2023 and Presentations

  Sun 01 Oct 2023

  We were delighted to host, alongside St Patrick's Church, the annual Rosary Sunday Celebrations for the Wigan and District Catholic Men's Society. Bishop Williams led the Procession and Service, assisted by four priests (including one of our former pupils, Fr Andrew Unsworth).

   

  Following the Rosary and Benediction, we retreated to the School Hall for refreshments organised and served by some of the members of St Patrick's Ladies Group. Later, there were Presentations to retiring Chaplain to the CMS, Canon Pat MacNally, and retiring President, Tom Walsh MBE. Mr Marshall was installed as the new CMS President and we were presented with our LiveSimply Award by CAFOD too!

   

  It was a truly lovely afternoon for our St Patrick's Family.
