Catholic Identity
Fr Patrick Kindergarten Visit
Last Thursday morning Fr Patrick visited the Kindergarten classrooms. Pope Francis has declared this Church Year as the ‘Year of Prayer’. The children and teachers prayed together and sang a song. Kindergarten identified Fr Patrick as the Priest of the St Joseph’s Parish. Thank you Fr Patrick for visiting Kindergarten.
LENT - Holy Week School Prayer
During Lent, we have tried to follow Jesus’ way. It is the way of love and the way of forgiveness. This week the school community has gathered to follow in Jesus’ footsteps as we remember the events of Holy Week and prepare ourselves for Easter. Holy Week is the most important week of the Church’s year, when we remember the last days of Jesus’ life on earth - a time of both joy, great suffering and sorrow. Thank you to parents and friends who joined the staff and students at these times.
On Monday Stage 1 students focused on Palm Sunday, when Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem like a King.
How can we be people of welcome?
On Tuesday Stage 2 students focused on the events of Holy Thursday when Jesus shared a meal and washed the disciples' feet, as a great act of love and service.
How can we be people of service?
Today (Thursday):
Year 5 reminded us of Jesus praying in the garden, his arrest and his sentence.
Year 6 led the school community through the ‘Stations of the Cross’ (Good Friday).
We look forward to Kindergarten leading Easter Morning Prayer next week on Thursday 4 April. All are most welcome!
