St Mary Magdalen'sThe Year of Mercy
The Year of Mercy
Tuesday 8th December 2015 - Sunday 20th November 2016
Pope Francis launched this Jubilee Year with the solemn opening of a door in St Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The door is a symbol of opening to the fullness of God’s love and invites us to pass through as a sign that we wish to experience God’s mercy and take it to others. The door represents a new opening for God’s mercy to every heart. Each Christian is called to seek and receive God’s mercy and to convey it to others through whatever doors he or she passes, whatever thresholds he or she crosses, and whoever, he or she meets this year.

Year of Mercy - Opening the door of our hearts to God
In our school, the children created displays featuring working demonstrating their understanding of the Year of Mercy, the parables of Mercy, our school entrance featured a 'Door of Mercy' that children could pass through every morning coming into school and we lit a candle of Mercy.
