Happy St Matthias Day to all. https://www.instagram.com/p/C68kvAAMpcC/?igsh=NW9yMTBmZXFnMXhs

Today is the feast day of St. Matthias, whose name means “gift of God,” who was the disciple chosen to replace Judas as one of the twelve Apostles. The Acts of the Apostles state that he was also one of the 72 disciples that the Lord Jesus sent out to preach the good news. Matthias was with the Lord since His Baptism, and was “a witness to Christ’s Resurrection,” according to St. Peter in Acts. He remained with Jesus until His Ascension. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-matthias-apostle-459

Happy St Matthias Day to all former students of the College of St Matthias

From Julia Tredwell
I was talking to my mother today about St Matthias. I was a pupil at the junior school in 1964 and have a wonderful photo of our annual school photo in front of the school. I remember the air raid shelter in the playground and an owl perched on it one day. Princess Margaret also visited the college. The chapel in the college was amazing and as a girl guide we used the main school hall. Lots of happy memories. If there anyone else who remembers that era?

Remembering St Matthias Campus St Matthias Campus closed its doors in June 2014. Listen to staff and students, past and present, reminisce on their time at one of the University's much loved campuses.

Keep safe everyone!
Social distancing in a Nut Shell

⚫️ Essential contact only

⚫️ You can NOT visit other people’s houses.

⚫️ You can NOT meet up with friends for children to have play dates or for you to do exercise.

⚫️ You can NOT allow your children to go out to hang around with friends.

🟢 You can as a house unit go for a walk as long as you do not meet others

🟢 You can go to the super market for essentials, keeping hands clean and distancing from others

🟢 You can go to work if needed staying a safe distance away.

Even if you work in an hospital, an office, as a childcare worker or in supermarket you can not then visit friends and family that person has not been in contact with the people you have and vice versa- therefore you could be carrying the virus with no symptoms and are therefore spreading Covid-19 and risking people’s lives!

NHS, Social Services, Teachers, all emergency services, supermarket staff and all other essential staff are not working and risking their health for you to go and have a glass of wine with your friends or send your children out.

The government are not shutting schools, cafe’s, bar’s, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, gyms and play centres and providing money to subsidies wages and save business which will put the country in debt lightly, they are doing it as stopping contact is essential to save lives.

DONT BE SELFISH! SOCIAL DISTANCE AND SAVE LIVES
