EASTER PRAYER ASSEMBLIES

Our students did a wonderful job presenting their Easter assemblies, sharing the message of hope, love, and new life with the school community. Through thoughtful readings, and creative presentations, they demonstrated a deep understanding of the Easter story. We are very proud of their efforts and the reverence and enthusiasm they showed.

Chrism Mass Tuesday 31st March

Students in Year 6 attended the Chrism Mass on Tuesday. The Chrism Mass is a special Holy Week celebration where the Bishop blesses the sacred oils used in Baptism, Confirmation, and Anointing of the Sick, and priests renew their commitment to serve God and His people.

This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience the wider Church community and deepen their understanding of Confirmation as they continue their preparation.

Holy Week

As we approach the end of term, we enter the most sacred time in the Christian calendar — Holy Week. Throughout the week, we remember the final days of Jesus’ life, His suffering, death, and the promise of new life to come.

Holy Week starts with Palm Sunday, where Jesus is welcomed into Jerusalem with joy and celebration. However, as the week unfolds, the mood shifts. In the days that follow, Jesus teaches, challenges others to live with truth and love, and prepares His disciples for what is to come. These moments remind us that following Jesus is not always easy, and often calls us to make good and courageous choices.

On Holy Thursday, we remember the Last Supper, where Jesus gives us the gift of the Eucharist and shows us what it means to serve others with humility and love.

Good Friday is a solemn day, where we reflect on Jesus’ suffering and death on the cross. For Christians, this is the ultimate act of love: Jesus giving everything for others.

Then comes Holy Saturday, a quiet day of waiting. It reminds us that even in times of uncertainty or silence, God is still at work.

We invite you, as families, to take a moment during the holidays to reflect on the Easter story. This could be as simple as:

sharing a short prayer
attending a Holy Week or Easter Liturgy
reflecting on the Stations of the Cross
read the Easter Gospels
talking about what love, sacrifice, and hope look like in your own lives
