A group of 7 students travelled down to London with the Hexham and Newcastle Diocese to take part in the Papal Visit. This meant one very long coach journey through the night arriving in Westminster in the early hours of Saturday morning.

This morning a crowd of students and teachers gathered outside the front of English Martyrs School & Sixth Form College to raise the Papal Flag. Everyone joined in with the singing and prayer as the flag was hoisted into the air on a beautiful sunny morning and took part with such pride as we played our small role in the Papal Visit.
Keep checking back on the blog over the weekend for more updates from those who have travelled to London to take part in this wonderful event. We also hope to upload many photographs from the visit during the next week so don't forget to come back soon!

What an exciting time in English Martyrs School just now! Preparations for the Papal Visit have been in full swing now for quite some time and anyone who has spoken to Anne-Marie recently will have noticed that she appears to be permanently at her hyperactive best. Today saw the Hartlepool Mail come into school to interview some of our young people who will be representing the school and the Diocese at this weekends events in London. Look out for more updates on the blog soon as well as checking out the BBC website for a few updates and don't forget to look out for our group waving at every TV camera they can find in London!

Wearing a t-shirt designed by Robyn Hannon, a Year 8 English Martyrs Student, two of our parish youth groups helped give the gospel out to people on the Churches Together stall at Hartlepool Tall Ships 2010. The main attraction though was the prayer wall, brainchild of Fr. Adrian and designed by Faye Greason on which everyone was invited to share a prayer. The response was overwhelming! Other English Martyrs Students; Tom, Hannah, Emma and Alexa were also given an 'Access All Areas' pass and appeared on the main stage to read bidding prayers at the ecumenical service held on Sunday morning. This was a wonderful event and it was great for so many young people to be able to take part in it.
