The Liturgical Year

February

This week we have begun our journey through Lent. Father Richard came to celebrate our Ash Wednesday Mass with us and reminded us that during this time of preparation for the great feast of Easter we are called to pray more, fast from treats and the behaviours that take us away from Christ and give to those in need. We also had a special visitor from CAFOD who came to do a workshop with our Year 3 and 4 pupils with a focus on catholic Social teaching. He was delighted to hear that once again we will be supporting the work of CAFOD through our fundraising event this Lent.

Sunday 13th February is Racial Justice Sunday. The theme for this year is ‘In the Image and Likeness of God’.

Bishop Paul McAleenan’s message is one that we should all take to heart. He says’ ‘It is a day when we, the people of God, remember that all the people of God are equally loved by Him. We are all members of one family, God’s family and therefore we are all brothers and sisters’.
