Lent

Lent is the period of 40 days which comes before Easter in the Christian calendar. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days.

Project Compassion

Last week all families should have received their project compassion boxes. The theme this year is BE MORE. This week Year 3 began our week with their liturgy introducing us to this year’s Project Compassion theme. Thank you Year 3.

You could pray the following prayer throughout Lent.

God of all people and nations,

As you accompany us on our Lenten journey,

May our fasting strengthen our

Commitment to live in solidarity,

Our almsgiving be an act of justice, and

Our prayers anchor us in love and compassion.

Through living simple and loving generously,

May we care for our global family

And our common homer, as we

“Aspire not to have more, but to be more.”

We ask this in Jesus’ name.

Amen.

Throughout the term we will do some fundraising activities to raise money for Project Compassion.
