Holy Cross High School RE

In the Oratory today, we prayed together in Danish, Ukrainian, Latin, Polish, Spanish, Irish Gaelic and ... English! What a privilege to join together for a decade of the Rosary. @holycrossre.bsky.social @holycrossham.bsky.social #ScotlandLovesLanguages

Please join us in the oratory on Wednesday to pray a decade of the rosary in your chosen language. @holycrossre.bsky.social @holycrossham.bsky.social @scilt.bsky.social #ScotlandLovesLanguages

This November, we remember, pray, and hope - lifting up in prayer all our loved ones who have gone before us and all souls in need of God’s mercy. ❤️ Each RE class will take part in a prayer service. Together, we keep their memory alive through faith, love, and hope in the promise of eternal life. 🙏

Today, we celebrate All Saints — the everyday heroes of faith who show us how to live with love, courage, and joy.
Every Saint reminds us that holiness isn’t about being perfect — it’s about saying yes to God in our own unique way.
Who is your favourite saint?

Some of our S6 met with Joe from ACN to begin preparations for Red Wednesday & to learn about becoming Youth Advocates.We’re looking forward to joining with ACN-to pray, raise awareness, & fundraise in support of those who suffer for their faith around the world.❤️✝️ #RedWednesday #ACN #YouthAdvocates

Our classes continue to come together in prayer this month, asking Our Blessed Mother to intercede for our intentions. 🙏✨
Well done, S4!
Let’s keep our hearts united in faith and devotion throughout October! 💙

A big thank you to 6E for leading our School Prayers for Peace during tutor time yesterday. We prayed for peace in our own lives, peace in our communities, and peace in our world. 🕊️🌿

Last year, we surveyed our S1–S3 pupils about how they feel valued in RE, and we were delighted with the results! One of the wonderful suggestions that came from our young people was to introduce a Pupil of the Month award.
So, here are our very first BGE Pupils of the Month for RE for September! 🌟

A huge thank you to our wonderful S6 Caritas group who led us so beautifully in the Rosary at Carfin Grotto last night.We’re so proud of you all for representing our school community with such grace and dedication. – even in the rain! ☔🙏💙

Wonderful to see one of our S3 classes joining together to pray the Rosary, with our S3 pupils confidently leading their classmates in prayer. A beautiful example of faith and leadership during the Month of the Holy Rosary. 💙🌹🙏

Miss Connelly’s and Mrs Bolton’s S5 RE classes began this special month by praying the Rosary together in the Oratory. All our RE classes will have the opportunity this month, as October is the Month of the Holy Rosary. This is a wonderful way to reflect, pray, and grow in faith together. 💙🕊️
