On 19 January Cardinal Vincent visited St Anne’s Catholic High School for Girls in Enfield to celebrate Mass and open their new sixth form centre. Also in attendance were Mayor of Enfield, Patricia Ekechi, and Deputy Mayor, Bernadette Lappage, both of whom have connections with the school.
In his homily, Cardinal Vincent reflected on the gospel from Matthew 5:13-16 which says: ‘You are the salt of the earth’. He encouraged the Upper School students present to reflect on what unique talents they can bring to society in the future and what they could do with their lives that would make a difference and ‘add flavour’ to the world.
At the end of Mass, the Cardinal was presented with a cheque for a charity of his choice in gratitude for his visit to the school. He thanked them greatly for this donation and said that he would give the money to Bakhita House, a Caritas Westminster project that supports women escaping human trafficking and supporting them through their recovery.
Following Mass, the Cardinal blessed the new sixth form centre and statue of St Anne and Our Lady.
