Faith in Action Award

In September 2023, we launched our first ever Faith in Action Award group here at Cottesmore St. Mary. We have now had two groups of children complete their Pin Award and are looking forward to helping our third group of children complete their award in 2026.

"The Faith in Action Award encourages young people through recognising, rewarding and celebrating their active faith lived out through service and reflection. The Award helps them connect their life and faith in a tangible manner.

In journeying through the Award, young people should experience a deepening of their relationship with God and find themselves exploring that relationship. It is hoped that through their relationship and action, others will see God's love through them.

The Faith in Action Award rewards young people's active service to others in their local and wider community. Young people accrue credits of service and reflect on that service in the context of the teachings of the Catholic Church throughout their award journey." CYMFed

This award is open to anyone in Year 6 to take part in. Those that sign up, work hard to demonstrate their faith through their service in our school community, earning credits and recognition for what they do. This year, we enjoyed celebrating the children who completed the award at an award ceremony in July where the Bishop will award the children with their Pin badges upon completion of their Faith in Action Pin Award. We would like to thank all those involved with this award and ask that you hold these children in your prayers as they continue putting their faith into action.
