Lent

The season of Lent is a special time set aside by the Church to deepen our relationship with God and with one another. The time of Lent is a time for personal and spiritual preparation for the passion, death and resurrection of Jeus. It is observed as a time of prayer penance and fasting. Lent if forty days - not including the Sundays of Lent and begins with Ash Wednesday. Tomorrow we will celebrate Ash Wednesday Mass at 12.30pm in St John's Church, you are very welcome to attend.

Shrove Tuesday

Lent is a time when people give up something.

Traditionally people would give up all animal products throughout Lent, including foods like eggs and milk.

Christians would eat pancakes on the last day before Lent begins, to use up things in the cupboard like flour, eggs and milk that they wouldn't be eating for Lent.

Today Year 6 leaders raised over $800 with their pancakes. They were delicious!
