    The Travelling Crib

    Dear Parents/Carers

    To help us remember the Christmas Story, we would like to invite you to join our special project called “The Travelling Crib”.

    The idea is that it is to help remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem and as a family for you to take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas and share this prayer time as a family.

    The crib will be sent home for you to share that evening and return to school the next day.

    We hope you enjoy The Christmas Crib!

    Many thanks

    St. Francis
