RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Reconciliation
Over the last two weeks our Year Three students have been making their First Reconciliation with Father Paul. We would like to thank Father Paul and Mrs Rowles for their guidance and support of these students. Additionally, we would like to congratulate all of our Reconciliation candidates on their commitment to their Catholic faith.
Stations of the Cross
Today in small stage groups we journeyed together through 14 Stations of the Cross. These 14 stations remind us of the trials and struggles Jesus had during his last days on Earth leading up to his passing on the Cross on Good Friday. Though Good Friday is not a joyful day, we are reminded that we all go through struggles, however, in time we will get through these hard times and we too will have our joyful moments like Christ did on Easter.
Next week the Catholic Church journeys through Holy Week. This begins with Palm Sunday. I encourage you to make time this Holy Week to attend the Holy Cross Parish Holy Week and Easter celebrations;
Palm Sunday Mass 10 April 8:30am
Holy Thursday 14 April 2022 7pm - Mass of the Lord’s Supper
Good Friday 15 April 2022 - Stations of the Cross 9am and Passion of the Lord 3pm
Easter Saturday 16 April 2022 6pm - Easter Vigil
Easter Sunday Mass 17 April 2022 8:30am
Easter
On Easter Sunday we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, which is a joyous time of celebration. The season of Easter lasts for 50 days and during this time we remember and reconnect with all Jesus taught us during his time on earth.
On returning to school in Term Two, the school will come together to celebrate Easter. We will hold an Easter Mass on Thursday April 28 at 11am in the Church. All family and friends are invited to join in this celebration.
