St Francis Of Assisi Catholic Academy Trust
Two Schools Unite in Faith for Marian Procession
The chaplaincy teams from St Mary’s Catholic School and St Joseph’s Catholic School in Bishop's Stortford, both members of St Francis of Assisi Catholic Academy Trust, united to honour and venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary during the annual Marian Procession on 5 May. Pupils played a leading role throughout the occasion, preparing and proclaiming readings and reflections on Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth and as our loving Mother.
The procession was a profound expression of faith, as students walked reverently between the school sites while praying the Rosary together. The event served as a powerful public witness to their devotion and to the living faith shared across the Trust community.
