Our Patron Saint
We are named after Saint Wilfrid, a courageous leader in the early English Church.
Saint Wilfrid was born in 634 AD and became:
Abbot of Ripon in 658
Bishop of York in 669
He played an important role in introducing Roman practices to northern England and establishing Benedictine monasteries.
We look to Saint Wilfrid's unwavering faith, courage, and leadership as an inspiration for our school community.
We celebrate Saint Wilfrid's feast day on October 12 each year.
