Reconciliation

Yesterday three very special children Henry, James and Ollie celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. The children, families and 2/3 Class gathered for a Liturgy by Fr George. It was a beautiful service with all children participating so reverently. After the service we celebrated with a special morning tea. Thank you to Mrs Murray for assisting and preparing the children.

Congratulations Henry, James and Ollie for receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Feast of the Ascension

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension. This day commemorates Jesus Christ’s ascension into heaven and occurs 40 days after Easter (therefore always on a Thursday). After Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, Scripture tells us, he was seen for forty days before he ascended into heaven to be “seated at the right hand of God the Father.” This is significant as it shows that he returned to Heaven after completing his mission on earth. After Jesus’ ascension, the disciples awaited the promised Spirit in Jerusalem. The Ascension marks the end of the Easter season, and Pentecost follows ten days later.
