Palm Sunday

This Sunday is Palm Sunday, the day that we commemorate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.  On Friday, K-2 will be leading a liturgy which dramatises the gospel story. During the liturgy there will be opportunities to ponder on questions such as ‘Why was Jesus riding a donkey?’, 'Why were some Jews excited and others angry?’ and ‘How have we welcomed Jesus into our hearts this Lent?’. This liturgy will lead us into a Holy Thursday liturgy led by 3-4 students and a Good Friday liturgy led by 5-6 students.  Families are most welcome to join us in the hall for these commemorations.

Easter

When we return after the Easter break, we will celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus with an Easter Hat Parade. Students are invited to get creative, design and make an Easter Hat that reflects the joy of the resurrection and new life. Hats are to be made at home and worn on the day. Teachers will provide templates to students if they require some guidance. Families are most welcome to join us in the courtyard, 9am on the 2nd of April.

Reconciliation

Tomorrow all Year 4 students will participate in a Reconciliation Retreat Day.  This day will consist of a liturgy and activities around the theme of forgiveness and reconciliation. Year 4 students will have recess and lunch provided and can come in comfortable/appropriate clothes of their choice as it is a non uniform day. For students preparing to receive the Sacrament, the retreat is followed by the Parent/Child Formation Evening at St Monica’s Church at 6pm. Please continue to keep our Reconciliation candidates in your thoughts and prayers.
