News from our Family and Faith Educator

Stations of the Cross @ Woronora Memorial Park, Sutherland

Tuesday, 19 March

Have you made time this Lent to reflect on the upcoming events of Holy Week? Why not join the Family Educators from the Sutherland Shire Catholic Schools for Stations of the Cross at Woronora Memorial Park Sutherland?  This prayerful experience will give you insight into Jesus’s last hours on earth.

Family Educators from all the Sutherland Shire Catholic schools have collaborated to organise a combined parent, grandparents and friends excursion on Tuesday 19th March, to the Stations of the Cross at Woronora Memorial Park, Sutherland.  The Stations of the Cross has a long tradition in our faith, the devotion grew out of a desire to imitate the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, which was thought to be the route taken by Jesus on the road to Calvary.

Christ’s Passion and Resurrection offer lessons for us all, not just in the power of prayer to overcome obstacles but also hope in the promise of the soul’s next joyful journey. Pope Francis said he’d like us to experience Lent with Love. Simple love for humanity and our world. He also said that Faith, Hope, and Love are intertwined with Fasting, Almsgiving, and Prayer. 

This reflection time, in lovely surroundings, is a wonderful way for us to complete our Lenten Journey. It is also an opportunity for parents and parishioners across the Catholic Schools in Sutherland Shire to connect and share in our faith.
