During the week of the MYMission to Trinity College parishioners are invited to come to the Mission Mass at 8am (at the Hall Drive site, except for Wednesday at the Saltersgill Avenue site).

From 8.30am-2.30pm each day there will be Adoration in the College Chapel. On Tuesday St Clare’s parishioners (and others) are asked to be guardians of the Blessed Sacrament.

If you would like to be a guardian please sign the list at the back of church.

Of course, parishioners are welcome to join the Mass or Adoration on any day of the mission.

MYMission Trinity Catholic College

March 21 – 25 sees the MYMission Team working closely with our friends at Trinity Catholic College in Middlesbrough.

As the Mission takes place in the season of Lent we will be contemplating what it means to make a sacrifice. Of course, there is no better example of sacrifice than the one that Jesus himself made on the Cross. So we will be looking forward to Easter and seeing what the Passion of Our Lord can teach us.

We cannot contemplate the Cross of Jesus alone. It can only really be understood in the light of the last supper, and so we will spend time exploring what the Eucharist means to us. Part of our plans for the Mission include a celebration of the Eucharist for the whole school.

St Clare’s footballers win excellence award

Brian Dowd — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 18:12:27 +0000

The young footballers of St Clare’s School have recently won The Mike McCullagh Memorial Cup, which is awarded for ‘excellence‘ in respect of entry to, and participation in, the annual Diocesan schools football tournament, the ‘Catholic Primary Schools Cup’ which is organised by Teesport Chaplain Mr Tony McAvoy.

The Mike McCullagh Memorial Cup was presented by Mr Laurie Savage of the organising committee during a school assembly at St Clare’s, much to the delight of the children, Mrs Sue Fall, the Headteacher, and Mrs Louise Pennick, the Football Co-ordinator.

Well done to all involved.

St Clare’s School Ruby Anniversary Celebrations

Brian Dowd — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 16:44:04 +0000

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!

Mrs Fall writes,

Dear Parishioners,

On behalf of everyone at St Clare’s School I would like to thank you once again for your continuing support for our school. The ‘new’ building has now been opened four years and your generosity has been magnificent. Many of you have sponsored bricks and other forms of fundraising.

I would like to thank the many parishioners who continue to give so generously to our school – your support is greatly appreciated by all.

God bless you all.

Thank you and keep up the good work!
