We join with the global church to mourn the death of Pope Francis
The Bellerive community joins with Catholics around the world in mourning the passing of Pope Francis today. Pope Francis's life was a model of service to the Lord, and he inspired so many with his dedication to the poor and marginalised of the world. We pray for Pope Francis, those who worked closely with him and those entrusted with discerning the choice of his successor in the weeks ahead.
School will reopen for staff on Tuesday 22nd April and for pupils on Wednesday 23rd April when we will come together to offer up our prayers for the Holy Father.
The link below ( to the website of the Bishop's Conference of the Catholic Church in England and Wales) gives a fuller description of his priestly ministry and papacy:

Eternal Rest grant unto him, O Lord and may he rest in peace.
