Celebrating 40 years of St Clare’s School
Parents, children, governors, teachers past and present, and parishioners turned out at St Clare’s School in Middlesbrough to welcome Bishop Terry, who celebrated Mass with Fr John Loughlin (parish priest) and Fr Gerard Robinson (former pupil) on the occasion of the school’s 40th anniversary.
Bishop Terry surprised everyone by revealing that he too was a former pupil of St Clare’s School; not this one but St Clare’s in Manchester. He went on to praise all at St Clare’s for their good work and had everyone in stitches with a wonderful sermon and a memorable explanation of episcopal vestments! (The editors sources reliably inform him that at dinner time the children talked of nothing but what Bishop Terry had said.)
Congratulations to the headteacher Mrs Fall and to all at St Clare’s. Ad Multos Annos!
