Ash Wednesday Mass - 10AM - St James

On Wednesday next week (22nd Feb) at 10AM, Father Trung will join us for our Ash Wednesday Mass. All parents are invited to join us in St James' church.  

Lent

As one of the three pillars of Lent, almsgiving – like prayer and fasting – should be part of the life of a Catholic School and not merely an annual sacrifice. Giving alms is about donating your time, money, services, or resources to others. 

 

We, as the Trinity Primary School Family, make sure that our students understand what it means to be global citizens, who, through social justice initiatives, look after everyone. Our first social justice initiative will be Project Compassion, a CARITAS initiative. During the next couple of weeks, the students will learn more about the Caritas stories. Please ask your children about these stories throughout Lent. 

Caritas Prayer 

God of all generations,

 

We thank you for 

those who have gone before us,

especially those who have cared for your earth 

and who inspire us to help respect your creation and contribute to its healing.

 

We thank you for 

those with whom we share our lives today,

especially those who work for justice and peace.

May we welcome the opportunity that Lent brings to walk more closely with you, especially through fasting, almsgiving and prayer.

 

We thank you for 

the challenge of the future.

May the cross of Jesus remind us that only love finds the way forward.

 

As we work with big hearts, 

may we join with Mary in her hope

that from now on all generations will experience

the great things you will do through us.

 

We ask this in Jesus’ name.

 

Amen.

 

Kinds Regards,
