Ash Wednesday

On Wednesday we celebrated Ash Wednesday which is the day that marks the beginning of Lent. The marking of the Ashes on Ash Wednesday is an expression of our faith and a sign that we are asking God for forgiveness. Each child in our school received the ashes on their forehead as we celebrated this special day with a Liturgy.

Shrove Tuesday

On Tuesday morning we celebrated Shrove Tuesday with a wonderful feast of pancakes and maple syrup on our playground. Shrove Tuesday not only became a day for Confession but a time for Catholics to feast on eggs, sugar and dairy which are traditionally restricted during the Lenten fast. Not only was Shrove Tuesday a last chance to gorge on such foods but it was also a way to use them up before the fast began.

Project Compassion Boxes

Project compassion boxes have been sent home for the period of Lent this is to support Caritas Australia this Lenten season and help support vulnerable people around the world, now and For All Future Generations.

With your support, Caritas Australia has been able to support vulnerable communities around the world to tackle poverty, food security, education, water and sanitation and disaster risk reduction. Project Compassion 2022 reminds us that the good that we do today will extend and impact the lives of generations to come to build better future for all.

Please encourage your child to give generously to the project compassion appeal and then return their box with their donation back to school by the end of this term.
