“Da Nobis Recta Sapere” Grant that we may be truly wise

🙏Mass Of Thanksgiving 🙏 Yesterday, we held a mass to celebrate our Year 11s final few weeks in school before exams. At the service we reflected on the last 5 years of our students journey here at Finchley. From online learning to sitting in person exams this summer. We are extremely proud of your resilience, hard work and determination right through your time here at Finchley Catholic High School and we wish you well for the coming weeks as you take your GCSEs. #year11 #GCSEs #education #fchslondon

Remembering Pope Francis Throughout his Papacy, and his life, Pope Francis dedicated himself to serving God and others. Following the example of Christ he embraced the lowly, gave a voice to the weak and marginalised, provided comfort to the lost and addressed crucial societal issues which threaten to hurt the dignity of mankind. As we strive to continue his work here on earth, we pray for the soul of Pope Francis, that he may rest for eternity in the loving embrace of his Father in Heaven. Amen.

🌺Period Poverty🌺 Year 8 focused their efforts this Lenten season on raising period products for St.Mungo's, as women in homelessness are disproportionately impacted by period poverty. As a result, the boys had the opportunity to discuss and educate themselves on period poverty and break down the stigma the exists within society. Ms.Turunen would like to thank everyone who was able to donate to such a worthy cause and continued to have meaningful conversations at home! #periodpovertyawareness #education #fchslondon

Rest in Peace, Pope Francis. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. A voice for the voiceless, a champion of the poor, and a light for education and compassion. His legacy of mercy, justice, and humility will live on. May perpetual light shine upon you, as you have shone on this world. #PopeFrancis #RIPPopeFrancis #LegacyOfLove

⭐Welcome Back⭐ We hope you all had a wonderful Easter. Just a reminder that the term starts tomorrow. We are looking forward to seeing you all! #fchslondon #welcomeback #education

🕊️Easter Sunday🕊️ “He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said.” Matthew 28:6 On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. This event is the most significant in Christian history and the foundation of Christianity itself. Without Easter, Christianity would not exist.

✝️ Good Friday ✝️ “But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 For Christians, Good Friday is a day dedicated to remembering the Passion and death of Jesus. As His sacrifice is central to the Christian faith, it is a day of prayer, fasting, and reflection on the significance of His death.

📖Maundy Thursday📖 ‘’Do this in memory of me.’’ Luke 22:19 Maundy Thursday is a day when Catholics celebrate the establishment of the sacrament of Eucharist and priesthood. Jesus and His disciples had the Last Supper, after which Jesus went to His trial and passion.

🌿Palm Sunday 🌿 ‘’Hosanna to the Son of David!’’ “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Matthew 21:9 With celebration of Jesus’ triumphant entry to Jerusalem, Palm Sunday begins the Holy Week.
