Religious Education
Lent
Next week we enter the season of Lent in our Church's calendar. Lent is a significant time. It is a time of reflection and renewal. It is a time that we think about fasting, praying, and giving. The children will be discussing this in Religious Education classes next week. Below is a short clip with information about Lent.
Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday Invitations
Shrove Tuesday is a day that we have one last feast or treat before we enter into a season of fasting. We invite you to join us after school next Tuesday for a pancake cooked by our PnF committee. If you have time to assist on Tuesday please see flyer that was sent on Seesaw.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. We receive ashes on our forehead as a commitment to turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel. Please join us next Wednesday at 2.45pm for our Ash Wednesday Liturgy in the hall.
