As a community, we will mark Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent, a sacred time in the Church year that invites us to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for Easter.
Lent is a season that calls us to live more thoughtfully through prayer, generosity, and care for others. On Ash Wednesday, students will gather in their pastoral groups for a short liturgy, where they will receive ashes as a sign of our shared commitment to live with humility, compassion, and purpose.
As part of our Catholic tradition on this day, meat will not be available at school. This simple practice helps us to remember that Lent is about making space for reflection and choosing to live more simply.
We are grateful to begin this Lenten journey together as a community, supporting one another as we seek to grow in faith, kindness, and hope.
