Here at St Hedda’s, we place Christ at the centre of all we do and therefore Collective worship is crucial in developing a way for children to develop a relationship with Christ and come to know him better.

Year of Prayer
Pope Francis has called this year as the Year of Pope as we prepare to celebrate the Jubilee Year in 2025.
Our Intent at St. Hedda’s Catholic Primary is to share in Pope Francis’ vision to establish prayer as a daily relationship with God and to encourage us to deepen our own prayer life and love of God and to help other people to pray during the Year of Prayer.
We believe that Prayer brings us closer to God and to one another. We pray for ourselves and the needs of others around the world. We pray daily in class and as a community. These are the prayers that are prayed with the children each day. Please take time at home to pray them together.
ST HEDDA’S PRAYER
Dear Jesus,
Help me to show your goodness each day just as St Hedda showed us.
Help me to know and understand what is right and what is wrong so I can grow in Your love.
Let my light shine brightly, forgive those who need forgiveness and show kindness to those who need kindness so they know Your love.
St Hedda, pray for us.
St Hedda pray for our school.
Amen
