RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS
Reconciliation
Last Wednesday students from Year 3 celebrated the Sacrament of Reconcilation. The first of three very important Sacraments that children will make in their spiritual journey. Reconciliation is a Sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ in his love and mercy to offer us forgiveness for the times we have sinned and turned away from God. At the same time, we are reconciled with the Church.
A big thank you goes to the parents for supporting and walking with their children throughout this blessed journey.
St Patrick’s Day
Last Wednesday was St Patrick’s Day and Nazareth celebrated this day by dressing in green and learning about St Patrick. For a coin donation, students could come dressed in green and as a school we raised $595.20. All monies raised will be going to flood victims. Thank you so much for the generosity of our Nazareth families.
Keep a look out on Facebook and Instagram for the great photos of children celebrating these days.
Feast of the Annunciation
Tomorrow, 25 March is the Feast of the Annunciation and is a special feast day here at Nazareth. The Solemnity of the Annunciation celebrates the coming of the Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary to announce to her the special mission God had chosen for her in being the mother of His only son. This announcement happened in city of Nazareth.
To mark this feast day, students in Years 3-6 will be attending Mass at 9am at All Saints Parish Church. This is our first school Mass in 2022. We would love for all families to join us.
