REC News

Welcome back I hope you had a lovely time with your children during the Christmas break.

Monday Morning Liturgies

As most of you have already seen on Facebook, Year 5/6 led our Monday Liturgy this week. The theme was Talents. We will  continue videoing our Monday Liturgies and posting them on Facebook so parents are able to be part of our liturgical celebrations.

Lent

Next week is the beginning of Lent. We will celebrate Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Tuesday) on Tuesday. The children will be able to purchase a small pancake for 50c or a large pancake for $1. They can have a choice of toppings- jam, cream, butter, golden syrup. We will advertise this on Facebook next week as a reminder.

Next Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Year 2 will lead us in this Liturgy. Traditionally the children would receive ashes on their foreheads, but due to COVID, this will not happen. Our Ash Wednesday Liturgy will be posted on Facebook for parents to view.

Sacramental Program

Children in Year 3-6 are able to participate in our Parish Sacramental Program. A letter explaining the program is attached. If your child is interested you need to complete the form attached and book yourself into the information night on the 17th February. Please return the form by dropping it off to Wallsend Parish office or via the email provided on the form.
