Ash Wednesday Mass and Celebration of the Word
Today our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils celebrated mass at English Martyrs' Church with the parishioners.
Fr. Mariadass led the mass and explained the significance of ash Wednesday and what it means to receive the ashes on our forehead.
Children in Years 1 - 4 came together to celebrate the word of God and reflected on the Lenten journey we are about to begin.
We looked at scripture and the links to our beliefs and traditions in the Catholic church today.
Our First Holy Communion pupils in year 4 received ashes and showed a commitment to preparation during lent - especially as their journey of faith continues towards making their First Holy Communion.
