Holy Week

Holy Week is the last week of Lent. It is a sacred week which begins on Palm Sunday and concludes on Easter Sunday. We become witnesses of Jesus sacrifice for us, from his entry to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to his death on the cross on Good Friday.

Below are the dates for the Liturgies:

  • Monday 11th April: Palm Sunday Liturgy
  • Wednesday 13th April: Last Supper Liturgy
  • Thursday 14th April: Good Friday Liturgy

Please note we will be following the current SA Health Guidelines at the time of the Liturgies.

Stations of the Cross

This year each year level will be following the Stations of the Cross based on those introduced by Pope John Paul II on Good Friday 1991. Each class will design a sacred space within our school to represent the Scriptural account of Christ’s passion. Classes will then participate in a prayerful reflection during their visit to each Station of the Cross.

Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving

During the season of Lent we have been called to Pray Fast and Almsgiving. ‘Alms’ is what we do and give to people in need. As a school community we are Almsgiving by supporting Project Compassion. We thank our families who are generously giving to Project Compassion through money donations. We have already received a few very filled boxes. Please return filled boxes by Friday 1st April.

Pope Francis names Lent as a propitious time to sow goodness in our lives and cultivate authentic human encounters. He encourages us to be the best we can be by trusting God and generously doing good in the word. In his Homily in 2019 he shared with us this fasting Prayer:

Prayer

Fast from hurting words and say kind words,

Fast from sadness and be filled with great gratitude,

Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope,

Fast from worries and trust in God,

Fast from pressures and be prayerful,

Fast from bitterness and fill your heart with joy,

Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others,

Fast from grudges and be reconciled,

Fast from words and be silent, so you can listen.

- Pope Francis

Year 5 Liturgy: How can we shine our light into the world?

On Thursday 24 March the Year 5 classes celebrated their Liturgy with the provocation: How can we shine our light into the world?

It was an opportunity to come together as a class and use the Gospel reading (Luke 13: 6-9) to reflect on different ways we can let our light shine through our fruits of generosity and compassion.
