26th Sunday in Ordinary Time C
O man of God, pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.
This Sunday at the 9.15am Mass, we welcome Bishop Richard to our parish to Induct Mr. Martyn Peebles as the New Headteacher of St Polycarp’s. Stepping up from being the Deputy Head he brings continuity to our already Outstanding School (OFSTED) and as a committed Catholic and parishioner at St Joan’s, he is well placed to lead the school through their future Catholic School’s Inspection and take the school from strength to strength in the years ahead.
In this Induction Mass, the Bishop, as the Apostle of our Diocese entrusts Mr. Peebles with the Headship of St Polycarp’s, appointing him to ensure that the whole community is centred on the person of Jesus Christ, and that every child in the school is valued as an individual, who is loved and gifted uniquely by God. We now look to Mr. Peebles to provide the best possible learning environment so that each pupil can develop knowledge and skills for life as a Christian. The task of Catholic education is formation, mission and service. Catholic schools fulfil their mission by offering opportunities to engage in dialogue with others in a spirit of collaboration, so that pupils can come to a deeper understanding of themselves, others and God, and find meaning and purpose in their lives. It is the mission and privilege of the Diocesan Education Service to lead and serve schools in their evangelising and educational ministry.
The Induction of Mr. Peebles takes place during a Parish Mass, especially on a Sunday to show that the Catholic School and the Catholic Parish are one in the service of God’s people. As Parish Priest, my engagement with St Polycarp’s has a high priority in my diary and I am pleased that we have worked out a comprehensive timetable of Full School Masses, class Masses and RE Visits so that the links between parish and school go from strength to strength.
With my prayers and best wishes, Fr. Simon.
