Our Faith in Action

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

Jesus’s life was marked by acts of service, like healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and caring for the poor. At Holy Cross, our pupils live out their Faith through their daily actions.

Afternoon Tea Party

Each year, parishioners attended our afternoon tea party organised and hosted by our Leadership Academy.  They enjoy a delicious afternoon tea, bingo, raffle, musical entertainment as well as the opportunity to socialise with staff and pupils.

Visits to local Care Homes

Our school choir performs each year at local care homes in Chorley, and our reading intervention pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9 take their favourite books to read to the residents at Astley View Care Home.  Such simple acts of kindness bring so much joy to the residents.  Our pupils’ pride and sense of service towards our community have never been so strong.

During the season of advent, the church encourages us to prepare for the birth of Jesus through charitable giving.
