<p> St Joseph's College, Assembly Programme, Autumn Term 2013</p><p>The assembly programme gives you information about our weekly school assemblies. Themes have been suggested and linked to biblical references and interwoven, where appropriate, with feasts, liturgical seasons, or other significant events </p><p>Included in the Liturgical Calendar is a section containing other information, such as specific saints feast days. These could be built into your prayer time with your form. You may find the following websites useful! www.prayingeachday.org (website to develop theme and with relevant search engines). www.culham.ac.uk (collective worship) www.cafod.org.uk (lots of resources for worship and assemblies.) http://www.openbible.info/topics/a (type in a word and get a biblical reference) and http://www.natre.org.uk/music/themes.php (links to themed secular music) </p><p>Suggested hymns are added to the programme. The number is in read and the key is at the bottom of the rota. The Music Department can accompany your selection, but please let them know in advance which hymn you would like if it is not the one on the programme. Also a laptop, screen and projector are always available if required</p><p>All the attached are only suggestions for assemblies. What is important is that each class has the opportunity to present an assembly to their yeargroup, and that each assembly has a liturgical input.</p><p>I and the RE teachers are more than happy to help staff and students to plan, resource and rehearse assemblies and give assistance, if required</p><p>If you have any questions, worries or queries, please do ask.</p><p>Deacon Tony Flavin (DTF) DATE ASSEMBLY SUGGESTED SAINT OF OTHER INFORMATION (including feast or special days) (Week LED BY THEMES THE WEEK beginning)</p><p>2012 Mon Tues Tues Wed Thurs Fri Year Group 7 11 6th 8 9 10</p><p>1 September X X X X X X </p><p>7 September HoY HoY HoY HoY HoY HoY New St Michael 11th The Far CR Beginnings The East Fires Archangel 1997 14th Death of the Duke of Wellington 1851 14 September Charity and St Vincent de Sharing Paul</p><p>21 September Knowing our St Joseph Of 23rd Death of gifts Culpertino Padre Pio 29th Feast of Ss Raphael and Michael</p><p>28 September Keeping the St Francis of Assisi 1st Concord peace breaks the sound barrier 2nd Logie Baird invents the Television 3rd Death of Roddy McDowell (ex St Joe’s student) 5 October 7.4 X ISF1 8.4 9.4 10.4 Getting to St Faustina 4th Heaven Introduction of the Gregorian calendar 5th Death of Steve Jobs 5th Death of St Faustina 12 October 7.5 11.1 ISF2 8.5 9.5 10.5 Miracles St Teresa of 13th Miracle C.R.
