FAITH FACT
FOR WEEK 9
Holy Week
Holy Week is the week from Passion or Palm Sunday until the
Easter Vigil on Saturday night. Throughout the week the events of Jesus’ last
week on earth are recalled. The liturgies include the
Scripture readings of these events and rituals such
as washing of the feet and veneration of the cross.
The Easter vigil on the Saturday night celebrates with
great joy Jesus’ resurrection with lights, bells and
alleluias.
Easter Sunday Mass March 31
A reminder
for families to celebrate Easter Sunday, one of our biggest celebrations of the
year, with the Parish, during Sunday Mass at 10:30am. Children are encouraged
to attend Mass and sit with their families. Children are not required to
wear their school uniform.
Thank you
to those families who donated coins for the koha box this lent to help those in
Papua New Guinea and Tonga. $147 was raised.
Lastly, a prayer book was sent home last
week as part of the Year of Faith. This can be used during prayer within the
home with our families and for personal reflection in helping us ‘to grow to
our call to holiness of life on the different paths we follow.’ Fr Vaughan
Leslie ( Preface from the Year of Faith Prayer Book ~ Thanks Nicola

Class
Happenings – Room 2
We have been learning about Holy
Week, and what happened to Jesus. This is what we have learned about the
Last Supper.
Jesus had a last supper. This
was his last dinner with his friends before he was arrested. His friends
were very sad that Jesus knew he was going to die, so Jesus asked them to
imagine that the wine that they were drinking was his blood. When they
drank the wine it was like Jesus was going into their hearts. He also
asked them to imagine that the bread they were eating was his body, and when
they ate the bread it was like they were taking Jesus into their body again.
Jesus could stay in their heart.
We have made some art to represent
the Last Supper and it is now in the church.
