The Season of Lent

It has been a beautiful week for worship in school as we've celebrated Ash Wednesday with the distribution of ashes and looked ahead to the 1st Sunday of Lent.

The children responded with exceptional maturity and respect during our Ash Wednesday liturgy as we explored the ancient symbol of ash/dust/soil from the Old Testament and explained how this both shows our dependence on God and the need to repent for our sins.

We also engaged this week with the theme of temptation, as we looked ahead to the First Sunday of Lent (Year C). We learn that Jesus spends time in the wilderness praying, fasting and avoiding temptation in order to give more to his ministry. During Lent, we are called to do the same!
