School of Sanctuary

“I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” (Matthew 25:35)

What is a School of Sanctuary?

Our Catholic Mission

At the heart of our work is the Gospel call to love our neighbour.

We believe:

  • Every person is made in the image and likeness of God
  • Every child deserves dignity, respect and care
  • We are called to welcome the stranger with compassion

A School of Sanctuary is a school committed to being a safe, welcoming and inclusive place for everyone, especially those who have been forced to flee their homes.

As part of a national network, schools work together to build understanding, compassion and belonging for all people.

For us, this is not just a project — it is a living expression of our Catholic faith.
