Students who are participating in the John Paul Awards were busy during lunch break preparing advent wreaths for our prayer room, re room and sacred space. The theme for Advent this year in our school is- kindness. Advent is typically a time of waiting and preparation to welcome Jesus into our hearts. Our theme reminds us to reach out to others, to be compassionate at home & in school, to respect, to include and always welcome people into our hearts
The 3rd year students enjoyed their day of reflection & prayer in Myross Wood. The day of reflection was centred on the profound words of St Augustine, ‘You have made us for yourself God and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.’ The students engaged in their own search for meaning through drama, music storytelling, prayer and group work. Many thanks to all the wonderful students who contributed in making the day such a success. Thanks to their RE teachers Ms Mangan & Ms Harte who accompanied the girls on the day
