On Thursday all of our classes will gather together in the Hall for a special liturgy to remember the events of Holy Week. Early next term we will also come together for a Whole School Mass to celebrate the season of Easter.
Yesterday children from Year 3 to Year 6 walked the outdoor ‘Stations of the Cross’ at “The Hermitage” (A Retreat and Spirituality Centre in Mittagong). Br Bill kindly provided us with bus transport to and from the site. It was a meaningful experience for the children to experience the Stations in the lead up to Holy Week. Classes from Kindergarten to Year 2 will view the Stations of the Cross inside our beautiful church this week.
It would be appreciated if any final donations for Project Compassion could be made this week. All money raised will be sent to Caritas Australia and help people in great need.
