Catechesis
Next week, we begin the Church season of Lent with Ash Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent. Lent continues for 6 weeks and ends on the Thursday before Easter, a day known as Maundy Thursday. Easter Triduum then starts on Good Friday where we mourn the death of Jesus, this continues through Saturday, before we conclude the Triduum with the celebration of Christ’s Resurrection.
The season of Lent gives Catholics the opportunity to ‘spring-clean’ their spiritual practice. Prayer, fasting and almsgiving are the tools that help Catholics to bring their focus back to following the example of Jesus.
At the College, we will be celebrating Mass together on Ash Wednesday. Staff and students will receive the sign of the cross on their foreheads, using the ashes from last year’s Palm Sunday.
This Sunday, our College will be hosting the morning tea after the 9:30am Kempsey Mass. All members of our community are invited along to the Mass and morning tea.
Thank you and God Bless.
