During this celebration, we focus on the Scripture passage from the previous Sunday, helping pupils and staff connect the Gospel message to their week ahead. Our Celebration of the Word follows a four‑part structure, which typically includes: 1. **Gathering** A moment to come together as a community, create a prayerful atmosphere, and prepare our hearts to listen to God’s word. 2. **The Word** We hear the Scripture reading from Sunday’s Gospel, giving time and space for the Word of God to speak to us. 3. **Reflecting & Respond** Through prayer, discussion, music, silence, or visual prompts, we explore the message of the Gospel and consider what it means for our lives. 4. **Go Forth / Mission** We offer prayers or commitments inspired by the reading and prepare to go out and live the Gospel message throughout the week.
