In January 2024, we proudly introduced the ‘Caritas Social Teaching Award,’ designed to highlight exemplary efforts in embodying compassion and love in action. This accolade will commend a deserving member of our community, whether it be a staff member, student, family, or collective, for their outstanding contributions.

At St. Michael’s, we celebrate the essence of faith in action by recognizing a staff member, child or group of children each half term for their commitment to ‘putting their faith into action.’

As Bishop John once beautifully articulated, “The measure of our love is not the service we render but the love we put into it.” ‘Caritas in Action’ is a testament to the values which are important in the Salford Diocese, serving as a response to the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. It implores all Catholics to actively pursue the common good, advocate for justice, uphold the sanctity of human life, and stand in solidarity with those most vulnerable in our society.
