​
This important week in the church and school calendar offers a wide range of resources both to download and videos for group discussion in upper years.

Resource  Simplicity by Deacon  Kevin O'Connor for class and group discussion.

The  Lesson Plan derived from the successfully piloted HeARTS and Minds sixth form volunteering programme.  To ensure that you have these resources sent to you for 2020 academic year  please fill in the contact form, and we will reply to you. 

Thank you to the Teachers/Chaplains who  have already  committed to   Dementia Prayer Week 12-19th March 2019 and will be  incorporating resources for Lessons, Assembly Liturgy and School /Parish Mass.

They are delighted that the Catholic ethos of the  Pastoral Care Project provides an understanding of dementia and spirituality  which is why it has wide educational appeal. 

This image of a Prayer Box created by Years 4, 5 and 6 when the  Pastoral Care Project lead a HeARTs and Minds afternoon at Our Lady of the Wayside Primary School, Shirley in  July 2016.  Creating the box stimulated  pupils thinking of what gave them purpose and meaning and  how they could make a difference to someone with dementia by support the Pastoral Care Project outreach. 
School Resoues
Many families including children  are supporting a loved one who is elderly and frail, often with a form of dementia.  It is for this reason that many schools invite us to give presentations and assemblies.  They also use these resources in assembly and liturgy.
