Shrove Tuesday - Pancake Day ~ March 4th

What an amazing day Tuesday, for Shrove Tuesday, our Annual Pancake Day. We are yet to wipe the smile off our faces. Pure joy, hospitality and community.

All we can say is thank you, thank you! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who lent a hand during our Pancake Day festivities. Some coming in extra early Tuesday morning and staying during their break to help clean up. Thank you to everyone who came over and joined the celebrations, especially our students, staff, our parish priests and parishioners. We are extremely grateful. Together, we coordinated the cooking of around 400 pancakes, what an amazing effort! Shrove Tuesday is always such a great celebration in our School Community and is always worth the effort. The sense of community, generosity & joy is such a highlight. All proceeds from the day supporting Caritas' Project Compassion Appeal.

Thank you to our Year 6 Social Justice Leaders, who were amazing and showed outstanding leadership and initiative during the morning & in the lead-up to the day. Pancake Day could not have happened without you. We are super proud of you all!

Ash Wednesday Mass – 5th March 2024

Thank you to Fr Ruel who celebrated Mass with us for Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday symbolises the beginning of a very important season in the liturgical year, Lent. We are all encouraged to commit to prayer, fasting & almsgiving throughout Lent. This could be a simple act of kindness, saying a special prayer for someone every day, spending some time in quiet meditation, prayer journalling, asking someone to join in a game, giving someone an extra big smile, not having a treat and donating the money saved to Caritas' Project Compassion Appeal.

Lent:

One of our three pillars of Lent is prayer ~ how can we pray more during Lent?

You might like to try Pope Francis' Five Finger Prayer ~

The five-finger prayer was written years ago by Cardinal Bergoglio before he became Pope Francis! It’s a great tool to teach children and adults how to pray because our fingers act as a visual and guides us to remember.

The thumb is the closest finger to you. Start praying/expressing gratitude for those who are closest to you.
The next finger is the index. Pray/express gratitude for those who teach you, instruct you and heal you.
The following finger is the tallest. It reminds us of our leaders and those in authority.
The fourth finger is the ring finger, the weakest finger. It reminds us to pray for those in need.
And finally, your pinkie reminds you to pray/be grateful for yourself.
