What a fantastic day we had last week as over 900 pupils from schools across the Archdiocese of Southwark made their way to Aylesford Priory for our One Mind, One Heart event. The priory, a site of prayer and pilgrimage for almost 800 years, was the beautiful setting for this special prayer service, coordinated by…
For the second year running, Mission Together (the children’s branch of Missio) received a flurry of wonderful entries to its Lent Through a Lens photo competition.

And while we’re lucky enough to have wonderful support from schools and communities across England and Wales, we know it’s been a tough year for children and teachers alike. That’s why we’re hugely grateful to everyone who has still joined us to raise…
