Year 3 children preparing the altar display before Mass
On Tuesday 14th February Year 3 lead our whole school Ash Wednesday Mass.
The children prepared the readings, wrote their own biding prayers, acted out the Gospel and created a lovely display in front of the altar.
During Mass all of the children, adults and lots of Parishioners received the ashes to mark the beginning of the season of Lent where we are reminded to pray, fast and give alms.
One Year 6 child commented: “I felt a sense of quiet and peace when I received the ashes this morning.”
