Advent

Schools, families and parishes in the Leeds Diocese are invited to share their Advent and Christmas preparations via Twitter using the #preparetheway hashtag.

We would love to see how our children and families are preparing and remembering the true meaning of Christmas! Remember to tag us in too @stpatselland !
