Ash Wednesday 2021 - Lockdown Level 3

Today is Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the time from when we move from Ordinary time. Bishop Patrick Dunn says ‘we are entering the wonderful, joyful time of Lent. The sacred 40 days the church allows us to prepare for Easter.’ We are reminded that we live our faith through: Prayer, Fasting, Almsgiving. Lent is a time to reflect on where we come from and where we are being called to be.

   

Because it is currently L3 Lockdown here in Auckland we had our mass online.

Here are some of the activities from members of our class Moala, Krystal and Maraia

Walt: Describe Lent as a time of spiritual growth and renewal for individual people and the Church community.

On Wednesday the 26th February, St Pius X Catholic School had a very important mass. We went to the Church for Ash Wednesday. There was a story about Jesus and how he travelled to a village for 34-days. Ash Wednesday is a Christian holy day of prayer and fasting. It is preceded by Shove Tuesday. 

For lent I am going to give up being naughty and try my hardest to be nicer to people around me.
