The activities explored Easter and the events of Holy Week and there were games, activities and a hot meal.

Former teacher Fr Angelici wanted it to be a safe, fun family day. He also wants to do something for older children - possibly regular pizza and film nights, and offer support to year 7 students in schools to aid transition from primary to secondary school.

Children have been asked what they would like to see happening at St Denys’ Church. Another idea is to offer after school homework clubs in the afternoon and lunch time clubs to offer pastoral help and friendship.
