Advent
Week 2
The second week of Advent focuses on Peace, symbolized by lighting the second candle (often purple or pink) on the Advent wreath, representing Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem, the humble stable, and Jesus as the "Prince of Peace".
Advent Liturgies
As we prepare for the season of Advent, our school community will gather in the Hall to celebrate our Advent Liturgies. Please join us we journey together in hope and anticipation of Christmas.
All parents, friends and families are warmly welcome to join us.
