Do you support Catholic schools, and the right of Catholics to send their children to those schools?
Archbishop Peter Smith writes: “We need you to make your voice heard. The government is making a critical decision on whether to overturn the admissions cap which prevents Catholic schools from allowing all Catholic pupils to attend. This cap was introduced by the Coalition Government in 2010. The present Government have acknowledged that this policy discriminates against Catholics and indeed they promised to abandon it. Now we most urgently need you to tell them that they must not perform a U-turn on that public promise they made to Catholics. Please visit Catholic Education. There you will be able to write to the Government and urge them to drop their policy which bans new Catholic Schools. If you do not have access to a computer, please write to: The Secretary of State for Education The Right Hon. Justine Greening MP Sanctuary Buildings 20 Great Smith Street Westminster, London SW1P 3BT Thankyou.” In addition to the many books, diaries, calendars and devotional items which are always held, the repository is now fully stocked for Christmas, including cards, calendars, diaries, nativity scenes etc. Demand is always very high. So as to avoid disappointment, please don’t delay your purchases until the last minute. When it’s gone, it’s gone!!
For more information pick up a leaflet from Church, visit the Legacy page on the Diocesan Web site, or email Adrian Radford, the Diocesan Financial Controller.
