RELIGIOUS EDUCATION REPORT with Mrs David

It is lovely to be coming to the end of a term full of celebrations and getting closer to what our religious and faith life was like before COVID 19 landed on Australian soil.

Stations of the Cross- Students only

Next Wednesday the whole school will participate in the Stations of the Cross outside. Each class has been given responsibility for setting up a Station to make it special for the school to visit and think about Jesus’ final moments before being crucified. We will share photos through Facebook of this special day. 

Project Compassion

You may have heard your child/ren at home talking about Project Compassion! During the season of Lent, we are encouraged to pray, fast and almsgive. As a Church community, we donate money to Caritas through Project Compassion. We will have our class boxes available for students to make donations until Friday.

Gospel Reading Response/ Reflection (from Liturgyhelp)

Holy Week is soon approaching. 

We  remember the life, Passion and Death of Jesus, These are some questions you may wish to ask your children:

Can you think of people who suffer?

When you see a cross what does it mean to you?

Do you think about Jesus’ suffering and death as well as his victory over death?

Why did Jesus suffer and die?

Jesus died and rose to save us and give us the promise of life with him forever.

We pray that the cross may be a sign of hope for all, especially those who are suffering and in need.

The date of Easter changes every year. This is because Easter falls on the first Sunday after the full moon following the March equinox (when the sun crosses the Earth’s equator).  However, this always occurs on or between 22nd March and 25th April.
