We are a part-time academy based in Preston, Lancashire, looked after by the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, and welcome children from age 5 to 18. In September, the academy will be entering into its third academic year, having started in January 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The education provided at St. Benedict\u2019s is all deeply rooted in the Catholic faith, as all subjects lead back to Our Lord. Whether in the study of History, with the Incarnation as its centre-piece, learning about and admiring the wonderful creation of God through the sciences, or in the study of the sacred language of the Church, Latin, through looking at the texts of the Mass, as well as passages from the Vulgate, Christ is always at the centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As priests, it is a great privilege to be able to teach the children, and to pass on the faith to them. The Sisters Adorers teach Catechism and French, as well as Gregorian Chant and Polyphony. It is wonderful to have religious around the school, as an example and inspiration to the children!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every Friday, at 12 noon, there is a sung Mass at English Martyrs, at which some of the boys from St. Benedict\u2019s serve, and the rest of the children sing the <em>Kyriale<\/em> of the Mass, as well some of the Ordinary, along with one or two polyphonic motets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the majority of the teachers at St. Benedict\u2019s are volunteers, there are in fact many other essential costs needed to run the formation of the children, which include: heating of the building, electricity and water bills, textbooks, insurance and maintenance of the Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the academy is a charity, we never wish to turn a family away if they are not able to afford the fees and at present the majority of families do not pay fees. In order to keep the Academy running and to provide a strong catholic education to as many children as possible, we rely on the donations of generous benefactors.<br><br>As we read in our dearly-beloved Missal at Christmas time, \u201cThine almighty Word, O Lord, leaped down from heaven\u201d. Priests must always imitate Christ in all things. Therefore, Canon Vianney Poucin, accompanied by Philip Russell (a trustee) and Kevin Russell-Young (a parent of three of the children) will also be leaping from the heavens (15000ft), but by means of an aeroplane and a parachute in order to raise funds for St Benedict\u2019s!<br><br>The planned date is the 4<sup>th<\/sup> September in Lancaster<br><br>Will you help make Catholic Education great again?
