Religious Education
Joining Together for Holy Week
As we approach the end of the term, the atmosphere at St Andrew's shifts toward the profound events of Holy Week.
We warmly invite all families to join us for our daily liturgies during the final week of term. These moments of prayer allow us to walk alongside Jesus from Palm Sunday through to Good Friday. We look forward to welcoming the school community into our prayer spaces as we move together towards the joy of Easter.
An additional resource you may like to make use of is 'Journeying Together'. Journeying Together covers the sacraments most commonly celebrated with primary-school-aged children - Reconciliation (Penance), Eucharist, and Confirmation. This resource will complement your child’s sacrament preparation at their Catholic primary school or in a parish catechetical setting.
Each sacrament module includes four sessions. Each session includes an invitation to explore and integrate the family’s lived experience with concepts from Scripture, the Church and the sacraments, along with opportunities to pray together.
We hope that by opening this opportunity, many will encounter Jesus and engage with their faith in a fresh and meaningful way.
