Coventry Armed Forces Day 2026 🪖

The Lord Mayor of Coventry, Cllr Roger Bailey, is encouraging everyone to join this year’s Armed Forces Day Service and Parade on Saturday, 27 June 2026 in Broadgate, Coventry.

The day begins with a Church Service at Holy Trinity Church at 10:30 am, followed by a Parade into Broadgate at 11:30 am. Expect vibrant displays featuring military vehicles, a boat, and a fire engine — a wonderful opportunity for families to come together and show appreciation for our veterans, serving personnel, and cadets.

Armed Forces Day is a chance to honour those who have served and continue to serve our country. Schools are encouraged to share this event with pupils and explore the learning resources available on the official Armed Forces Day website.

Let’s celebrate our community’s spirit and support for the Armed Forces.

Good luck to everyone taking part in the Children’s Mile at Memorial Park today at 9am! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💨
You’ve got this — run strong, smile big, and enjoy every moment! 🌈✨
Cheering you all on! 🎉🙌

🌱Accompaniment Visit 🌱

We were delighted to host four Diocesan officers: Eric Kirwan (Chief Operating Officer), Mark O’Connell (BDES Academy Lead), Steve Bell (Director of Education), and Ben McArdle (Senior Adviser for CSI Inspections).

📍 Saint Gregory’s hosted the visit, beginning with a tour led by Head Boy and Girl, Harry and Olivia Baker 👏.

A heartfelt thank you to Mrs Scullion, staff, and pupils for their warm welcome and excellent organisation.

The purpose of the visit was to review our evaluation of Pillar 1: Catholic Life and Mission.

🙏 We are grateful for this opportunity to reflect, celebrate, and continue strengthening our shared mission a”to form Christ-centred pilgrims of hope, with kind hearts ♥️, questioning minds ❓, a hunger for knowledge 📚 and thirst for justice ⚖️ .

🎒 Bags of Hope – Kind Heart, Hunger for Justice ❤️

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:

🏠 Homelessness
👶 Children & Families
👵 Older People
🌍 Refugees or other vulnerable groups

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 Bag of Hopes 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 💙.
