At St Theresa’s, our Catholic faith guides everything we do. Rooted in our mission “to do the little things well,” we strive to create a nurturing community where every child grows in faith, kindness and service. We believe that small acts of love, carried out with care, can make a big difference.

Charity is a vital expression of our Catholic life. Through fundraising, acts of service and supporting those in need, our pupils learn that even the simplest gestures can bring hope and help to others. By doing the little things well, our staff, children and families put their faith into action and help to build a more compassionate world.

Year 3 and 4 CAFOD Visit

Year 3's Mary's Meal Visit

Year 5's Constellation of Kindness

Visit to the Loving Hearts Dementia Cafe

Serving Our Local Community

Year 5 visited the Loving Hearts Dementia Cafe alongside pupils from St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School. The children welcomed and served visitors in the café, spent time talking with members of the community and even helped with a game of bingo!

This special visit gave the children an opportunity to show kindness, respect and companionship. By giving their time and serving others, they put our school mission into action and demonstrated the Catholic Social Teaching principles of human dignity, participation and the common good.

Our Month of Mary Baby Clothes Collection

During May, the Month of Mary, our school community reflected on Mary’s loving care for Jesus and her example of faith, compassion and service.

Inspired by Mary and our school mission, families were invited to donate baby clothes to support babies and families in need. Our generous collection was a practical way of showing love, protecting the dignity of every person and putting our faith into action.

Thank you to everyone who contributed. Each donation showed how doing a little thing with love can make a meaningful difference to another family.

Big Lent Walk and Walk for Water

During Lent, the whole school took part in CAFOD’s Big Lent Walk. Children walked together in solidarity with people around the world who face poverty and injustice, putting their faith into action through prayer, sacrifice and service.

Our children and families generously donated money, which was given to CAFOD and Walk for Water to support projects helping our global neighbours. This Lenten action helped us understand our responsibility to care for others and showed how small acts of love and generosity can make a meaningful difference.

School's Advent Service and Nugent Christmas Toy Appeal

On Wednesday 10th December, 2025, our head children and some of our school councillors visited the Metropolitan Cathedral in Liverpool to take part in the School's Advent Service. It was a beautiful service to celebrate the Nativity and to help us to prepare for Christmas! As part of the service, we donated toys to the Nugent Christmas Toy Appeal. The Archdiocese distribute these to children and young people in the Liverpool City Region. 

Poppy Appeal

In November, we remembered and we honoured the Armed Forces Community by supporting the Royal Legion Poppy Appeal. 

CAFOD

On Friday 24th October, we held a 'Brighten up for Harvest' celebration in school. We dressed as brightly as we could and made donations which were sent to CAFOD to support our global neighbours who are in need. 

St Helens Food Bank Collections

Year 4 invited us to take part in our annual autumn collection for St Helen's Foodbank. Thank you to all who donated and supported our local foodbank!

MacMillan Coffee Afternoon

On Wednesday 15th October, we held our annual Coffee Afternoon to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support. It was a lovely afternoon where our families joined together to enjoy treats in the school hall while generously supporting the work of the charity.
