We were feeling very lucky to be returning to St. Mary’s today after an amazing Advent day with you guys… and it was even better this time! Fr. Dave kicked off our retreat day with an extremely entertaining assembly and started to get us thinking about the importance of Lent and how we can spend time becoming closer and more like Jesus.
Year 6 spent the day looking at the three themes of Lent; prayer, fasting and alms-giving and how we use them to become more like Jesus. It was so much fun working with you guys – you got stuck in right from the start. The alms-giving promises you made were inspirational – hope you’ve kept them up!
Mass at the end of the day was awesome – it was great to celebrate everything each class had done together. The singing was beautiful, especially Foundation and their wonderful introduction!
Have a happy Easter!
