Next Wednesday, 17th February, the students and staff of St Dominic’s School will mark the beginning of Lent by attending Ash Wednesday Mass. This year, due to COVID restrictions, the mass will be held in the St Dominic’s School Hall commencing at 11:30am. Due to the 2 square metre rule, unfortunately parents are unable to attend.
As we were unable to celebrate mass last Friday, we will also be including aspects of our Beginning of the School Year Mass.
Lent is a traditional time where Catholics typically give something up, as well as putting others before themselves by giving to the poor and hungry of the world. Over the coming week, students will be asked to think about something to sacrifice, as well as giving to the poor through Project Compassion. If you would like to learn more about Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent, you may find the video located at the link below a useful resource.
