Pilgrimage 

The pupil pilgrimage to Lourdes is a transformative spiritual journey that brings students from St Patrick’s Catholic College together with the wider Middlesbrough Diocese and Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust (NPCAT) network. Travel to this sacred site in the south of France allows young people to transition their classroom faith into real-world action

Inspired by the values of service, compassion, and pilgrimage, our Lourdes Leaders promote the message of Lourdes within the school community. They support fundraising initiatives, lead prayer opportunities, and encourage acts of service to others.

Retreats

Our school retreats programme provides pupils with an element of calm away from their hectic routine of daily school life, offering a dedicated space to deepen their relationship with God through communal faith and personal reflection. By stepping out of the classroom and into a supportive environment, the pupils are given the time and quiet they need to listen to God’s voice and grow alongside their peers.
