LENT: We commenced Lent on Ash Wednesday - The Church moves into a purple phase of the liturgical year.

Worn during the Advent and Lent seasons, purple reflects sorrow and suffering. 

Sorrow to mark the suffering of Jesus Christ and for a period of 40 days in the desert (Lent). 

The colour also came to symbolize wealth, power, and royalty because in antiquity purple dye was very expensive - reserved for very special occasions and people.

March - The Season of Giving

There is a rhythm to life.

The Genesis promise of Yahweh - Yah means breathing in and Weh means breathing out, is brought to life in the way our Church celebrates the seasons of the year...

and in the way, we move through out our days.

As a Catholic school, we invite our school community to walk in a prayerful lenten rhythm. The natural candescence of our day includes all the bells and classes and adjusted schedules of any school: however, we also build in moments of pause, moments of prayer, and moments to notice the breathing in and breathing out of God's Spirit.
