Lent 2024
Holy Week at St Mary’s is always a very special time. This year, we enjoyed Mass, a Palm Sunday worship, our Manchester Passion-inspired Maundy Thursday service with our GIFT Team tableau of the Last Supper, and our very moving Passion of Our Lord to celebrate Good Friday, acocompanied by Adagio for Strings. We also painted pebbles this year and left them behind for Lent in our new woodland area after carrying the cross on its final journey around our school. Every child walked a mile with the cross before it was placed in our woodland area. Here’s a video of some of the highlights of the week.
Lenten Newsletter
Ash Wednesday
We started Lent off in an edific way by going to Mass and receiving ashes alongside the parish community.
Taize Lunchtime Worship
Our KS2 children are invited to some quiet reflective time on Wednesday lunchtimes during Lent to participate in a Taize worship. The Year Sixes in particular have said how wonderful it is to have some time to be alone with God.
CAFOD’s Big Lent Walk
Our school have embarked on a challenge to walk 200km during Lent this year to raise awareness for CAFOD. We have also had book sales and cake sales to raise money for this very important charity.
