This celebration is a cherished tradition, bringing children, families, and staff together to begin the school year with prayer and reflection. Year 6 pupils played an important role in supporting their **Reception Class buddies**, helping them feel confident and included throughout the service. Their guidance and encouragement highlighted the strong sense of care and community that lies at the heart of Holy Family. The Welcome Mass was a beautiful occasion filled with faith, belonging, and togetherness, reminding everyone of the importance of starting the year united as one family.
