Harvest Celebrations We follow the tradition of giving thanks to God for the harvest during the Autumn term.
At St James’ we usually have a whole school Mass of Thanksgiving with our parishioners in church. For our Harvest Mass we collect packets and tins for our local food bank, the South Tameside and Longdendale Food Bank which is based at St Barnabas’ Church in Hattersley. We are always overwhelmed by the generosity of this collection.
We like to support the food bank as we know that it benefits our friends and neighbours and quite often ourselves. During the corona virus pandemic our friends at the food bank helped us by providing breakfast bags, Christmas hampers and Christmas vouchers, Advent Calendars, milk and snacks for Care Club and lots of love and prayers. We really appreciate them and all they do for us.
If you are in need of a food bank voucher please contact school and we can help you.
