Prayer at St. John vianney
Daily prayer
Prayer holds significant importance in our school. It fosters a deep connection to the Catholic faith and nurtures the spiritual, emotional, and moral development of our children.

O my God I come to say Thank you for Your love today Thank you for my family And all the friends you give to me Guard me in the dark of night And I the morning send your light Amen |
driven by gospel values
Pupils at St. John Vianney are clear that the Gospels are not just stories - they contain the words, actions and examples that Jesus wants us to follow. We always encourage the children to work on the value being shared and exemplified.
Developing prayer and spirituality
At St. John Vianney, we ensure that there are frequent and varied opportunities for prayer and reflection. During Spirituality Week, the children are responsible for organising, designing and carrying out their own opportunities for worship and developing their relationship with God.

collective worship
The children enjoy the opportunity to design and carry out their own acts of worship each week. The responsibility sllows them to personalise their prayers and helps them understand the structure: gather, word, reflect and mission. Sometimes parents join them as well!
