Earlier this year, children from across our Trust took part in Wakefield SACRE’s spirited art competition, responding to the theme of ‘Where is God?’.

Children from Holy Family & St Michael’s Pontefract, St Ignatius Ossett, St John the Baptist Normanton, St Joseph’s Castleford and St Joseph’s Pontefract Catholic Primary Schools and St Wilfrid’s Catholic High School & Sixth Form College, Featherstone used mixed media of their choice to explore and express their thoughts and reflections through art.

Children were asked to ponder over key questions such as:

• Whether God could be found in their heart, in prayer, in church or somewhere in the universe?
• Given how important looking and searching for God is, how are we doing in terms of finding God?
• Can God be found by prayer or by looking among the world’s suffering people?

The first-prize artwork from each school that took part can be viewed below:
