Spring Term
Special Celebrations Unit
Year 2 Mass
The Presentation of Our Lord at the Temple
Today we celebrated the feast of The Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple. This is when Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem forty days after he was born and presented him to God. There, a wise man called Simeon took baby Jesus in his arms and told everyone that he was the Son of God.
Sometimes we call this feast day Candlemas because it reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the World. Today we pray that Jesus will guide us in everything we do and lead us to God.
Celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes in Year 2
We visited the grotto with Father Sean.

On the 8th June we went to the Sacred Heart Chapel to pray.
We identified St. Peter and St. Paul in our church and went to mass for their feast day.
Mrs Antony talked to us about the role of her husband, Deacon Tim and her role as a musician during Mass.
