Delighted to present at this interesting meeting on future of Catholic sixth form colleges in an academisation model. Grateful for the views of @CarmelCollege and @StJohnRigby . Proud to work together with these outstanding colleges in the archdiocese.

A photo of Pope Francis with a quote of his: “In the end we will say only: I don’t recall anything in which You are not there.” We give thanks for his life and commend him to God's mercy and love."

The funeral of Pope Francis has now finished but his legacy will live on as a voice of the voiceless, a dedicated champion of the poor.

We are thankful for his leadership over the past years and commend him to God's mercy and love.

“Dear Francis, we now ask you to pray for us. May you bless the Church, bless Rome, and bless the whole world from heaven...in a final embrace with all the people of God, but also embrace humanity that seeks the truth with a sincere heart and holds high the torch of hope.” #PopeFrancis #SantoSubito

It's Palm Sunday.

Today's two gospel readings set the stage for the contrasts of Holy Week as jubilant crowds hail Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and angry crowds call for his execution.

Both speak of Jesus' path of non-violence.

Choose people who inspire you and truly value your presence in their life.

Applaud those people who inspire you. 💜💜💜#WomenEd
