The Jubilee Year: Pilgrims of Hope 

Celebrated from December 24 2025 to January 6 2026

The Jubilee Year is a landmark event in the life of the global Church, a time for all of us to come together as Pilgrims of Hope. From December 24, 2025, to January 6, 2026, school communities and individuals around the world are invited to unite in faith, prayer, and action as we journey together to embrace God's kingdom of justice, peace, and love.

Every 25 years, the Catholic Church celebrates a Jubilee Year, a sacred time of grace and renewal. It is an opportunity for all members of the global Church family to pause, reflect, and deepen their relationship with God. This Holy Year calls us to grow in our faith, re-establish bonds with one another, and restore our connection with all of creation.

Key Themes of the Jubilee Year:

  • Faith and Prayer: The Jubilee Year is a time for renewal in our spiritual lives. Through prayer, reflection, and community, we draw closer to God and grow in our understanding of His will.
  • Reconciliation: Central to the Jubilee Year is the opportunity to reconcile — both with God and with one another. It is a time to heal broken relationships, offer forgiveness, and work together for peace.
  • Mission of Jesus: The core mission of the Jubilee Year is to live out the call of Jesus in Luke 4:16-21, where He declares the good news to the poor, proclaims freedom for prisoners, and brings sight to the blind. This scripture becomes a guiding light as we reflect on our role in building a world that embodies justice, love, and peace.
  • Living in Harmony with Creation: The Jubilee Year invites us to reconsider our relationship with the environment. We are called to be good stewards of God's creation, living with reverence and care for the world He has entrusted to us.

We encourage everybody to join in this journey, whether by engaging in special prayer services or simply taking time for personal reflection and growth. Together, we will embody the spirit of the Jubilee Year, pledging to work for God’s kingdom of justice, peace, and love, and making a positive impact in our communities and the world.

This Jubilee Year is a time to restore and renew, to walk in faith, and to be the hands and feet of Christ in our world. Join us as we embark on this sacred pilgrimage of hope, united in our commitment to build a world where God's love reigns supreme.

Let us walk together in faith, hope, and love as we live out the mission of Jesus Christ during this extraordinary Jubilee Year.

Living Life through our Faith at Holy Rosary

 

At Holy Rosary Religious Education and SMSC are priority. We want children to develop skills that will equip them for later life and help them become the amazing citizens, God created her to be.

Living Life to the Full

Our Aims

041-T1010128.jpg We promote a broad and balanced Catholic curriculum which seeks to live out the values of Jesus Christ. We promote these values by our words and deeds, and Catholic doctrine and practice therefore permeates every aspect of the school’s activity. We provide a Catholic curriculum, which is broad and balanced, recognising that every pupil is unique and is created in the image of God (Gen1:27).

Mission Statement

The mission statement, displayed throughout school, is a powerful declaration of how we bear witness to a loving God! It is our distinctive purpose, it is what makes our school special and it is our remit in our journey – meeting God each day. Jesus Christ is at the heart of everything we do.

Curriculum

007-T1010020.jpg Our curriculum is designed to enable every pupil to discern their vocation and to be well-equipped to follow it as active citizens in service to the world. “The mission of schools is to develop a sense of truth, of what is good and beautiful. And this occurs through a rich path made up of many ingredients. This is why there are so many subjects – because development is the result of different elements that act together.” Pope Francis

Pastoral Support

We also provide a wide range of extra-curricular activities and strong pastoral support. We incorporate democratic principles, value the rule of law, support individual liberty and foster a community in which different faiths and beliefs are respected.”

Assembly

312-T1011365.jpg As a school, weekly assemblies aid the delivery of Caritas in Action. Caritas in Action supports the RE curriculum with the teachings of social justice and the Universal Church.  

These are delivered using a model of reflection which allows children time to think about and discuss the Catholic Social teaching themes. Children are invited to reflect on each assembly with an activity afterwards.  These reflections then become the offering for the next assembly, showing how these themes interlink into our daily lives in and out of school.

Class Saints

Picture 3.png

Each class has been named after a Saint and these are displayed on all classroom doors.  These saints have shown special qualities that we feel our children should know about.  The children have spent time learning about their Saint and how these relate to our own lives.

 

Each class will deliver their class assembly based on the life of their class saint, helping others in school to recognise their qualities. This assembly will be close to the date of the feast day of their saint, allowing us time to recognise and honour.
