An Invitation to our Holy Week Prayer Service Friday April 4 - 9:15 in the School Hall
All parents and carers are warmly invited to join us on the last day of this term, Holy Thursday, for a prayer service and reflection on the events of Holy Week.
Each year level will be presenting a part of the story.
We do however want to emphasise that this event is one of prayer and reflection, during which we ask all participants to join in prayer and contemplation of this sacred time in the Christian calendar.
This does mean, for parents who wish to attend, that we ask that toddlers are not brought along. We understand that this may be difficult to arrange, but we really value the reverence this event has held in past years and wish to maintain the atmosphere and significance of the event as a spiritual and liturgical celebration. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing those of you who are are able to join us on Thursday.
The final part of the service is a special presentation of the Stations of the Cross by our Year 5/6 students which involves the students and parents moving around the school and parish grounds to each of the stations.
The service is anticipated to conclude by approximately 11:00am after each of the groups moves through the Stations presentation.
Something to consider this Easter
As we prepare to celebrate Easter, we are reminded of our call to live out Catholic Social Teaching, particularly the principle of preferential treatment for the poor. One simple yet powerful way to do this is by choosing Fairtrade chocolate Easter eggs.
Many cocoa farmers around the world face exploitation and unfair wages. By purchasing
Fairtrade chocolate, we ensure that farmers and their communities receive fair pay and better working conditions. This small choice can make a big difference in the lives of those in need.
We encourage families to consider buying ethically sourced Easter treats this year.
This resourcefrom CHOICE is a good guide to fair trade chocolate.
Let’s make Easter a time of joy, justice, and generosity—for our families and for those who work hard to provide for theirs.
