Welcome to our blog which is to create a link between two Catholic schools – St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Bristol, England and John Paul II’s Salesian Primary School in Wroclaw, Poland.

We would like to present our schools’ everyday life here, so that we can get to know each other better and, hopefully, develop a longstanding and beautiful friendship. Although we live in different countries and cultures, we surely have a lot in common, as we share the same Christian values. Getting to know each other better seems a great adventure we are happily embarking on.

Holy wins (31st October)

The 1st of November is a holiday when we celebrate All Saints' Day. We don't go to school, but visit the cemeteries and pray, put flowers and special lamps or candles on the graves of our family and friends who have already gone to the Lord.

But if you visited our school the day before, you could see that it was full of saints! It is not a common sight at school ;) All students were dressed as saints on that day and we had a ball, played games, searched the chambers of saints and went in a colourful parade to the city centre, singing religious songs. It was a lot of fun and we also got to know a number of saints better!
