Collective Worship
Christ is at the centre of all of our thoughts and actions and because of this, Collective Worship is a much-valued part of life at Endsleigh Holy Child. We love coming together in classes or as a whole school to worship daily allowing our children, staff, parents and parishioners to know, serve and love God. By listening to and reflecting upon the Word of God, we allow the messages of the Bible to shape our lives so that we can develop and nurture a closer relationship with Jesus.

Feast Days & Special Celebrations
In addition to our weekly acts of worship, we also celebrate important liturgical feast days with special whole school liturgies or Masses, including Remembrance, All Saints Day, Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Ash Wednesday, Lent, Easter, Ascension and Pentecost.
During each week one class attends Wednesday morning Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes and St Peter Chanel. The school is also welcomed by Fr William for whole school masses at the beginning of each term and for Holy Days.
We also share special Services of Reconciliation during Advent and Lent as part of our preparation for the great feasts of Christmas and Easter.
Our Stay and Pray sessions are an opportunity for our families to come into school to join their children in liturgy.
This is a lovely time for the children to share how they pray in school during class liturgies with people they care about. We have had some really fabulous feedback from our parents about these sessions and the children have loved sharing with their families once again.
