Pupils at St. Mary’s College in Crosby have been putting their best foot forward for charity on their annual sponsored walk.

Students from the senior school took part in the 10-kilometre Edmund Rice Walk, a ’desert trek’ along the Sefton Coastal Path which was blessed with warm, sunny weather this year.

Although St. Mary¹s is now run as an independent trust, it was set up by the Christian Brothers and the school remains committed to supporting the spiritual, educational and charitable principles of Blessed Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers movement.

As a result, the sponsor money raised from the walk will help a number of good causes including the Christian Brothers’ West Africa Mission, Claire House, Jospice and the Seel Street Mission for the homeless in Liverpool city centre.

St. Mary’s Principal, Michael Kennedy, said: “I was very pleased to see everyone at the college giving the Edmund Rice Walk their enthusiastic support again this year, and the good weather was a real bonus.

“The event is a great opportunity for staff and students to spend the day together in the open air, and to raise money for some very good causes at the same time.”
