FOLLOWING OUR CATHOLIC TRADITIONS DURING LENT

THE LENTEN OBSERVANCES

• All who have completed their 18th year (until the beginning of their sixtieth year) are bound to fast (one full meal and two smaller meals, subject to medical and health requirements) and abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

• All who have completed their 14th year are bound to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

• Pastors, teachers, and parents are to ensure that even those who, by reason of their age, are not bound by the laws of fasting and abstinence from meat, are taught the true meaning of penance.

PASCHAL PRECEPT

• Each of the faithful is obliged to receive Holy Communion at least once a year. This is to be done in Australia between Ash Wednesday (14 February 2024) and Trinity Sunday (26 May 2024).

THANK YOU

Thank you to the many parents who helped serve pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. It was lovely to see everyone working for a common good and modelling to our students how we continue the work of Jesus. Congratulations to Ingham House on raising the most money. We raised $393.70 for Project Compassion.
