Ash Wednesday Mass & Launch of Project Compassion 2020

Yesterday we attended Ash Wednesday Mass at 9:30am. Staff, Students and Parishioners received a cross of ash on their foreheads. The ashes are a visible symbol of penance. The ashes are made from blessed palm branches, taken from the previous year's Palm Sunday Mass.

Ash Wednesday sees the season of Lent begin. This also marks the beginning of the annual Caritas Australia Project Compassion Appeal. Donations to Project Compassion allow Caritas Australia, the Catholic Agency for International Aid and Development, to work with local communities around the world to alleviate poverty, hunger, oppression and injustice. Each classroom will receive a Project Compassion box for their donations or you can donate online via the website at lent.caritas.org.au.

Along with Caritas this term we also will be fundrasing for the Bushfire appeal, more information to come!

On Tuesday many of our classes inquired into 'Why do we eat pancakes the day before Ash Wednesday?' It was fantastic to see the discussions and students findings around Shrove Tuesday! The best part was..... the eating of course!

Sacrament of Reconciliation 2020

The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated in the Parish of the Transfiguration, North Woden on Thursday, 2nd April at 6:00 pm at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Curtin. On Tuesday night there was a Parent Information Meeting at the Parish Centre at Curtin.

Many thanks to the parents and carers who were able to attend, and to the teachers who attended to support our students.

I encourage the community to pray for these children as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of First Reconciliation.
