Our first job is to create our own Missio prayer for St Joseph’s Infants.
We thought about the words of our prayer for the Diocese:
A Prayer for our Diocese
Almighty and eternal God, give us the grace and strength to carry out the work entrusted to us in the Diocese of Menevia. Bless our families and our parishes. You call men and women from our families to serve you as priests, deacons and in the religious life. May we read the signs of these vocations in others and help them to follow you. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our School vision and Mission Statement:
Our School Vision
We are a Welsh Catholic school with a strong sense of community that caters for children from the age of 3 to 7. Our school vision is encapsulated in our school motto ‘We can do our best and God will do the rest!’ and in Article 29 – ‘Your right to be the best you can be.’ Our Catholic vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They guide our children and underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our children as confident happy citizens of Wales and of the wider world. We provide a Christian Community where the Catholic Faith is taught and nurtured, giving learners the best possible learning experiences and outcomes. We are extremely proud of all that goes on here.
Our School Values
Our school values were chosen by parents, teachers and staff. These represent 10 values that the whole school community chose to be central to the education of our children:
- love of God and the wider world
- positive self esteem
- happiness
- independence
- compassionate
- loving
- confidence
- resilience
- inclusive
- respectful
and Pope Francis’ advice to look after our world
‘Live wisely, think deeply, love generously’. We also reflected on One Family, One World (CAFOD).
