SJSCAT Recollection (Parents & Carers)

Dear Parents and Carers,

In the rush of daily life — juggling responsibilities, schedules, and endless to-dos, SATs, GCSEs, and A-level pressure — it’s easy to forget one simple truth:
You are allowed to pause.

You are invited to take a step back. To spend a quiet morning with Jesus.
And to discover how one man's courageous faith continues to bear fruit — in our hearts and in the lives of our children.
 

🗓️ Date: Monday 30 June
🕙 Time: 10:00 AM
📍 Tyburn Convent Just across from Hyde Park — 8 Hyde Park Place London W2 2LJ
🌳 Closing with a relaxed community picnic in the park
 

✨ Why Come?

🔹 Discover our academy Trust's Patron Saint, St. John Southworth
His story is not just inspiring — it’s transformative. He was a man who risked everything for love, mercy, and truth. His sacrifice still echoes today, shaping the values we pass on to our children: the SJSCAT core values — Dignity, Service, and Perseverance.

🔹 Understand the Power of Faith in Action
See how courage, humility, and trust in God can change the world — and how we are called to carry that same light.

🔹 Take a Breath, Make Space for Grace
Step away from your daily demands, request a morning off, and give yourself time to be with the One who sees and knows your heart — in the stillness before the Blessed Sacrament.

🔹 Connect with Others Who Share Your Journey
Over tea or coffee, conversation, and a picnic in Hyde Park, enjoy being part of a warm, faith-filled community.

Let’s live our SJSCAT’s motto, and Pope Leo XIV’s call to unity and peace, in a meaningful way.

This is more than an outing.

It's an invitation to renew your soul.

To rediscover why our faith matters - for you, your family and the future we are building together.

Spending time with Jesus will transform you, shape your life, renew your family life, and clarify how to deal with your challenges.
