Our Parish

Corpus Christi Catholic Church

Blessed Robert Widmerpool Catholic Voluntary Academy is part of the Corpus Christi parish. It is a Catholic school where Christian Values underpin every aspect of school life. Our Mission Statement outlines how these values influence our aims and guide our work together.

Our Mission Statement is: “We walk kindly in the footsteps of Jesus Christ as we live and learn.”

We work as closely as we can with our parish to establish effective relationships with its parishioners and our parish priest, Father Pitak.

Learn all about Father Pitak here from an interview with the children.

Why did you become a priest?

I was impressed by the lives of missionaries who worked in my village with their simplicity and dedication for the spread of the gospel. I believe that my vocation got inspired and grew up gradually when I was older. That was the first step of having the vocation of my priesthood. And I want to do the same like them as a life of service through the priesthood.

What part of your job enlightens you and keeps you going in this noble profession?

A life of service means a lot to me. It is always great to do something I can for others.

What is your favourite sport?

Of course, it is football.

What is your favourite liturgical season?

Advent is my favourite liturgical season.

Can you tell us about someone who inspires you?

Firstly, my parents had a great role to teach and bring me up. Also, I was inspired by a few missionary priests who worked in my village. Their lives inspired me to do something for others and to become a priest.

What is your favourite video game?

I do not have any because I do not like to play video games.

Do you support a football team? If so, what is it?

Yes, I do. I am a big fan of Manchester United. Although there are ups and downs in the club, I still support it.

Who is your favourite player?

My favourite player is Juan Roman Riquelme, the Argentine player.
