ASH WEDNESDAY LITURGY - TOMORROW (5th March) @ 11:15am
Tomorrow our students will be taking part in a whole school liturgy at the church for Ash Wednesday, this day begins a very important time in the church year called Lent. Lent is the 40 days leading up to Easter where Catholics are asked to reflect on themselves and their choices and try to be the best versions of themselves that they can be by doing things like praying, fasting and almsgiving (or giving to the poor).
All parents are welcome to join us for this liturgy.
At Lumen Christi we have our first sacrament coming up,
FIrst Eucharist - 30th March 2025
As a school community we prayer for:
Joshua Sheary
Thomas Breheny
Esmae Fairbrother
Nils Schelfhout
Emmanuel Ryan
Erin Robinson
These students are beginning the process of preparing for their First Eucharist THIS WEEKEND with commitment masses on:
8/9 March
15/16 March
22/23 March
All students preparing for their First Eucharist will need to be at one of our parish masses THIS WEEKEND with their prayer letter that they have written.
Also coming up soon we have our GRADE 4 EUCHARIST NIGHT which is a night for ALL GRADE 4 students to attend. It includes the children re-enacting the events of the last supper and sharing a meal together of pizza with their special family member. This will be held at school on Wednesday 19th March from 5:30 - 6:30pm. This is something that we have done for the last couple of years to replace the sacrament workshops that we had and it was a really well attended event and our students really enjoyed it. The idea is for students to demonstrate this Sacrament in action and will be a whole Year 4 celebration so that the children receiving the sacrament are supported by their peers and the wider community in their preparation for their First Eucharist. Details about this event will come home shortly.
Please dont hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions about the Sacraments this year. (jszkwarek@churchill.catholic.
