Staff and pupil representatives joined those from across Lancashire at St Mary's Church yesterday for a special Mass celebrated by Bishop John. In his homily, Bishop John paid tribute to Pope Francis, describing him as a “pope of his time”, who called each and every one of us to be active in faith to make Christ present in the world around – particularly to those facing the challenges of war, poverty, injustice, the impact of climate change, and those forced to flee their homes.
