High School Mission
During the year, members of the vocations promotions team visit high schools throughout the diocese to give assemblies or class presentations, or to celebrate Mass and preach on vocations. They focus especially on Year 10 students and sixth formers but are also available for other year groups. The team aims to visit each school and Notre Dame Sixth Form College at least once a year.
