Dear Parents and Caregivers
As we journey through the Lenten Season, we are asked to focus on prayer. Have you ever thought of praying the Stations of the Cross as a family during Lent? There are many sites you can go to but here is a link that you might like to use with your family with simple text:
https://wau.org/resources/article/re_stations_cross_kids/
You might like to search for some images on the stations of the cross to reflect on as well or you might like to reflect on the words and ask your children to draw images for each station. You can even visit the Church, when it isn’t being used and pray as you view the images on the wall.
HOLY WEEK
During Holy Week, the school will be coming together to pray and reflect on some significant events for Jesus during this week. Parents and Caregivers are welcome to attend.

ST JOSEPH’S DAY MASS
St Joseph was the husband of Mary and the father of Jesus. God called Joseph, a simple carpenter, to care for and protect Mary and Jesus. With great faith and trust, he accepted God’s call.

Prayer to St Joseph the Father
St. Joseph, guardian of Jesus and husband of Mary,
you passed your life in loving fulfillment of duty.
You supported the holy family of Nazareth with the work of your hands.
Kindly protect those who trustingly come to you.
You know their aspirations, their hardships, their hopes.
They look to you because they know you will understand and protect them.
You too knew trial, labour, and weariness.
But amid the worries of material life your soul
was full of deep peace and sang out in true joy.
Assure those you protect that they do not labour alone.
Teach them to find Jesus near them and
to watch over him faithfully as you have done. Amen
Pope John XXIII
