Lent

The season of Lent is a key time for Catholics, which points us towards the high point of the liturgical calendar, Easter. Ash Wednesday was celebrated at the College in Mentor Groups, with Mentor teachers leading the liturgy with the assistance of our College Captains and Franciscan Captains who distributed the ashes to students and staff. Thank you to all those involved in making our liturgy a prayerful experience for all.

Stillpoint

The key focus for the start of our Lenten journey has been Stillpoint, a central part of our day at Ave Maria. Stillpoint is a moment of silence built into the timetable for all staff and students. It is designed for us to appreciate the profound value of silence in our busy and noisy world and to be a moment of quiet reflection
