St John Plessington House Patrons

At St John Plessington, our House Patrons were ordinary men and women, who by their lives and examples have been recognised by the Catholic Church through canonisation and beatification. The House Patrons, therefore, act as role models for our school community.

As a Catholic school, recognising the lives of Catholic saints, we are unified in the single Christian message, to live lives founded on Gospel values, faithful to Christ.

“The saints are not superman, nor were they born perfect. They are like us, like each one of us. They are people who, before reaching the glory of heaven, lived normal lives with joys and sorrows, struggles and hopes. What changed their lives? When they recognized God’s love, they followed it with all their heart without reserve or hypocrisy. They spent their lives serving others, they endured suffering and adversity without hatred and responded to evil with good, spreading joy and peace. This is the life of a Saint.”  Pope Francis
