Ash Wednesday (5th of March 2025)
This week, we began Lent by celebrating our first school mass for 2025, led by Father Chinua. Ash Wednesday marks the commencement of Lent, an important time in our Catholic faith. Lent is a season for repenting, fasting, and prayer.
During mass we received ashes placed on our foreheads as a symbol by which God made us. As we embark on this Lenten journey, let us open our hearts to deeper reflection, prayer, and acts of kindness in the weeks ahead.
Caritas Project Compassion
This Lent, we are called to Unite Against Poverty through Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. By supporting Project Compassion, you’ll be answering the Gospels’ call to care for our global family and walk alongside the most vulnerable.
Your generous support this Lenten Season will enable Caritas Australia to provide life-changing support to communities facing poverty, food insecurity, lack of education, and water shortages, while building resilience against future challenges. Together, through faith and action, we can bring hope and opportunity to those most in need.
During Lent, each class will have a donation box for coin donations.
Jubilee 2025
We are continuing to celebrate the Jubilee year as 'Pilgrams of Hope'. In classrooms students have been unpacking this theme and what hope means for them.
The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever.
Amen
