Children from Intermediate upwards and staff gathered together to mark the beginning of Lent in our Ash Wednesday service, which was led by Fr John. The service reflected on preparing ourselves during Lent for the joy of Easter and we all learnt about the meaning of Shrove Tuesday and ‘shriving’ – when a priest hears confession. Upper Two assisted in leading the liturgy and read beautifully and the younger children responded enthusiastically to Fr John’s homily.
The school community received ashes on their foreheads with the words, ‘Repent and believe in the Good News’.
