As part of our shared mission to live out Catholic Social Teaching and serve those most in need, we are inviting all Romero schools to take part in our Bags of Hope initiative.
We encourage each school community—staff, pupils and families who are in a position to donate- to come together to fill a bag with essential items that could support a person for a week. The donations should be unused. This is a simple yet powerful way to show compassion, dignity and solidarity. Schools will be provided with the bags for each area.
Using the suggested shopping list (below), schools are invited to focus on a particular area of need, such as:
If you are in a position to donate supplies that we can add to each bag, your school can make a meaningful and direct impact on those facing hardship.
Please send into school any of the items from the poster below (we are supplying the bags) so we can then create Bags of Hope to take to our Conference on June 26th.
What to do next:
Principals will bring completed Bags of Hope to the Leadership Conference on Friday 26 June 2026.
On the day, the bags will be blessed by His Grace and then distributed across the diocese as a tangible sign of hope, care and love. Together, as a Romero family, we can make a real difference—ensuring that those most in need are reminded that they are not forgotten.
