Year 2
Celebrating Saint Patrick's Day in style!
Lent
Our Lady of Lourdes Feast Day
We led the school mass for our feast day.
We learned about the Sacrament of the Sick.
We acted out the Sacrament of the Sick and said the words of the priest;
Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit.
May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up.
Amen.
Parables and Miracles
We made new year's pledges to help our planet on our school Laudato Si tree.
We read the story of The Flight into Egypt and how Joseph was warned in a dream.
There is a tradition of praying to St. Joseph while he is asleep because God always sent an angel to help him when he was in trouble, while he was sleeping.
We put our own prayers under 'sleeping St. Joseph'.
Praying to St. Joseph
We visited the crib and described the scene at the birth of Jesus.
We wrote on our door with blessed chalk to honour the tradition of inviting our Lord Jesus Christ to stay with us.
We read and acted out the Christmas story.

You are with me always Lord
and you guide me.
You love and care for me.
Thank you for everything.
I want to follow in your ways always.
