📢Shared on behalf of Blessed William Howard Catholic High School, Staffordshire
As part of his visit to Bishop Timothy's Pastoral Area, the Apostolic Nuncio, His Excellency Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, celebrated Mass at Blessed William Howard Catholic High School in Stafford on Tuesday 8 September, the Feast of the Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 🙏
Archbishop Bernard, Bishop Timothy and some local clergy concelebrated the Mass. Students from Blessed William Howard, together with other members of the St Gabriel the Archangel CMAT family of schools, including St Anne's, St Austin's, Blessed Mother Teresa and St Patrick's, attended the Mass.
Representatives from the Diocesan Education Service, Kenelm Youth Trust, St Gabriel the Archangel Executive Leadership Team and Directors, Local Governing Bodies and local parish representatives were also in attendance.
After Mass, the Nuncio planted a tree in the school Peace Garden to commemorate the visit. 🌳 This was very much in keeping with the spirit of September, working and praying for the Care of Creation.

🌟 Central Support Team Conference 2026
Our Central Support Team came together at Yarnfield Park for a day of prayer, reflection, collaboration and learning, including Mass led by Fr Julian Green. 🙏
A great opportunity to reflect on our shared mission, our ambitions for St Gabriel the Archangel CMAT and our lens of ‘Questioning Minds’ as we consider how we can continue to support our schools and communities.
Starting the new academic year off to a great start!

🌿 Congratulations to Bishop Milner Catholic College, St Teresa's Catholic Primary Academy, St Mary's Catholic Primary School, and SS Mary & John Catholic Primary Academy on achieving the LiveSimply Award!
We're delighted to celebrate our Region 3 schools receiving this wonderful recognition. The LiveSimply Award celebrates their commitment to living simply, caring for creation, and standing in solidarity with others through the values of Catholic Social Teaching.
We love this joyful photo of the pupils from St Mary's Catholic Primary School, perfectly capturing the excitement of celebrating this well-deserved achievement. Congratulations to all the pupils, staff and wider school communities! 💚

📢Shared on behalf of Painsley Catholic College, Stoke-on-Trent
This Half Term, the Painsley Catholic College community came together with Bishop Timothy, members of the St Gabriel the Archangel CMAT Executive Team and Directors, governors and other invited guests to celebrate our Whole School Mass.
Although the weather meant a change of plans, the afternoon remained a truly special occasion as we gathered in prayer and reflection. Celebrated in memory of former student, Will Simpson, the Mass provided an opportunity to remember, give thanks and strengthen our faith as one community.
As the final celebration of Painsley's 60th Anniversary year, the Mass was a fitting tribute to the school's rich history and the values that continue to unite our community.
A heartfelt thank you goes to every member of staff and every department who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the celebration possible. A special thank you also goes to our Design & Technology Department for their outstanding creativity in producing the angel wings, St Gabriel messenger post box, liturgical dance T-shirts and bespoke music stand covers, all of which added so much to this meaningful celebration.
It was a wonderful afternoon and a powerful reflection of the faith, service and sense of community that are at the heart of Painsley Catholic College and St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi Academy Trust.
