Our Lenten Journey

Throughout Lent we have been taking the time to improve our spiritual lives, and have been making a conscious effort to devote time in our day to spend with God and reflect on Jesus’ own journey. As well as dedicated Lenten prayers in form time, we have also been attending Mass and taking part in lots of special occasions. Senior School.

Ash Wednesday

Our Lent began with beautiful Ash Wednesday Masses for Junior and Senior School. In their Mass, our Juniors learned that no matter the hardships they may face throughout their day, Jesus loves them and this is something to always remember. Our Seniors were reminded that kindness is key to strengthening our relationships with others and with God. After receiving our ashes, we went back to our day with a new perspective and ready to begin our Lenten journey.

Time for Prayer

Throughout Lent, our Manresa Oratory in the Junior School was a place that we could be close to God in prayerful reflection. On Mondays and Tuesdays, we took part in Collective Worship with our friends before school, on Wednesdays we had a Eucharistic Service, and on Thursdays a short Stations of the Cross where we reflected on the different stations. In Senior School, we had weekly Masses in our Sodality Chapel - where we welcomed our community to join us.

Junior School Chaplaincy Team

Our Junior School Chaplaincy Group had a very special trip to Sky Up Academy Studios - where they produced their very own news report on climate change. As we are a Laudato Si’ school - we always make sure we are looking after our Common Home. We loved spending time together and sharing a vital message. Read more on Page 11.
