On Friday 17^th February we celebrated our first whole school liturgy for 2023. It was such a joyous occasion to come together as a school, present with each other and invite God into our hearts and minds. The liturgy focused on hope. The students learnt about four visible ways to see hope in us and each other through strength, trust, being the face of God to others and happiness. We will continue to focus on hope this term and the students will explore the scripture of the Transfiguration, The Annunciation and the Last Supper as different grades begin to lead these liturgies once a fortnight.

The next liturgy will be held by Year 5 on Friday 10^th March, Week 6. All parents are invited to come along and share in the liturgy with our community.

Ash Wednesday

Lent prepares us for the season of Easter, the most important time in the Church’s calendar. By praying, fasting and giving alms, we are reminded of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Jesus brought the promise of hope to all people so that we may “Have life and have it to the full.” (John 10:10) As we live into that fullness, may we also be challenged to act with love and hope, now and for all future generations.

We look forward to our whole school re-enacting the events of Holy Week in Week 10. More details will be put in the Newsletter in the coming weeks so keep an eye out and come along to join in our Easter Liturgies.
