Welcome to Week 6! We are now in our third week of Lent and the children have observed changes to their prayer spaces and the Church during the Lenten season.

Purple (or violet) is the colour of the Lenten season. Cloths on our prayer tables and the Tabernacle cover in the church are now purple. During Lent, flowers and other decorations are removed from the church as well. During Lent we focus on prayer, almsgiving and fasting.

Students have been referring to their Lenten promises regularly as a gentle reminder.

Prayer

Each morning St Mary’s students and staff begin with prayer.

This is a special way to start our day, our time to connect with God

and set our intentions for a beautiful day at St Mary’s.

I thought I would share our prayer with you this week.
