Our Parish Links
At Holy Family we are extremely fortunate to have the church so close to our school grounds meaning that we can visit at any time! Children are supported on their spiritual journey by many people within the parish community and we are incredibly lucky to have Father David Burns, who works across both parishes of St Bernadette’s and Holy Family, as our school chaplain. He is a regular visitor at school, with classes taking it in turns for a class Mass each week.
We welcome all parents, carers and our local parishoners to join us in our worship every Thursday afternoon. Please phone the school office on 01253 354496 if you would like any more details.
Why not come along and enjoy the celebrations for Mass on Sunday at our church?
Mass begins at 11:30 am every Sunday at Holy Family and 10:00 am at St Bernadette’s.

You can choose to donate in different ways – perhaps you might sponsor you child per week, and send a cash donation in to school or you may wish to donate via parent pay online.
Either way, this season of Lent we are walking to help people around the world who are less fortunate than us.
We will also hold an Easter Raffle, a Best Bonnet and decorated Egg competitions on the last week – 3-5th April
Catholic Life
The Catholic life of Holy Family is rich in opportunities for children to encounter God and to deepen their relationship with Him as a loving, compassionate Father.
We are currently working towards CAFOD's Live Simply award. You can learn all about the award through this video:
https://www.yout-ube.com/watch?v=ky6SCsKyTMw
The aim of the award, inspired by Pope Francis' letter 'Laudato Si', is to encourage communities to work at local, national and global level. The work should be either to help people live SIMPLY, SUSTAINABLY, and in SOLIDARITY with others.
Here at Holy Family, we encourage all staff and pupils to do as Jesus taught us 'In all things, love' and so we aim to think beyond ourselves and how fortunate we are here in Blackpool.
