Thanksgiving celebration for our 10th Anniversary
On 1 November 2025, Archbishop John Wilson presided over a Thanksgiving Mass in celebration of the 10th anniversary of our Trust as well as the 20th anniversary of the Archbishop Romero Trust. It was a wonderful celebration, with Archbishop John commending the Award Programme for the positive influence it is having in schools across the country, inspired by the life and ministry of St Oscar Romero.
At the end of Mass, the Archbishop presented Mugeni Sumba, our Coordinator, with the Archbishop's Medal in recognition for his service to Catholic education through the Award Trust.
