Day of the Eucharist<br />
On Friday 24 th November we took part in the<br />
Day of the Eucharist. This was a day devoted<br />
to Eucharistic Adoration all across our Diocese<br />
(the majority of the East Midlands). The day<br />
began with a live broadcast from the Bishop’s<br />
House where we joined him in his morning<br />
prayer before the Eucharist. He spoke about<br />
how he prays and what helps him know that the<br />
Eucharist is Jesus’ actual body. Each form also<br />
watched a video explaining what Eucharistic<br />
Adoration is. This was made by Tom Baptist,<br />
one of the Chaplains, but was presented in school by our very own Fraser Sanders! We then<br />
had special services focused on Jesus’ healing power throughout the day, these were planned<br />
by the Chaplaincy Team and lead by Fraser and I. It<br />
was amazing to see students coming before Jesus<br />
and praying so earnestly and placing their trust in<br />
him. This service was part of a document called<br />
Encounter Him which was created by our school to<br />
help other schools know how to plan and lead<br />
interactive times of Eucharistic Adoration. We have<br />
heard great feedback from staff and students both<br />
here as well as across the diocese and we hope to<br />
run a similar day again.<br />
