Today we come together to celebrate Monsignor Allen’s Golden

Jubilee!!

Monsignor Allen has served the parishes of Sacred Heart, Gorton

Saint Dunstan’s in Moston

And of course Our Lady of Grace, Prestwich

Monsignor Allen has helped to guide staff and pupils in our

school and has given his support in so many ways

In celebrating the Blessed Sacrament

Monsignor Allen led a special prayer service

at the commemorative rock

in Heaton Park

As a school we came together to show our respect when Pope John

Paul II died

He joined us on our school trip to Rome

Monsignor Allen has also served our school

as a Governor – guiding our school to

achieve the best for all who learn and work

here

‘You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and

bear fruit, fruit that will last ……’John 15:16
