Celebrating New Life: Our Easter Journey

As we enter the glorious season of Easter, our school community joins together to celebrate the heart of our Catholic faith: the Resurrection of Jesus. After the prayerful journey of Lent, we now share in the great joy of the "Alleluia," recognising that Jesus’ rising brings light and hope to the whole world. In our classrooms, we have been talking with the children about how Easter is a time of renewal and new beginnings - much like the spring flowers blooming around us. While we hope your families enjoy a well-deserved break and perhaps a few chocolate treats, we invite you to join us in reflecting on the incredible love God has for each of us. May the peace of the Risen Christ fill your homes and hearts during this holy season.

If your child is preparing to celebrate a sacrament later this year, a 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.
