One of the big projects that we are looking forward to doing along with the Eco Council is a grotto style prayer garden that people can go to and reflect for a little while.

7. During Advent, we will present each class with a travelling crib. Each night a child will take it home to pray with your family and think of how you can spiritually prepare yourselves for the birth of Christ. You will place the figurines in the crib, read the Christmas story, reflect on your Advent promises and pray with your family.

8. During Lent, we will also have a small Lenten bag to give to each class. Again, each child will be able to take it home to pray with their family, think about their Lenten promises and reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made for us.

9. As you will see from our display outside, October is the Month of the Rosary. During the month of October, we pray the way in which Mary taught us by saying the Rosary. There are 4 different mysteries of the Rosary all about the events during Jesus’ life. ( Sorrowful, Joyful, Glorious and the Luminous)

10.  Each time a decade is prayed it includes 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Marys and The Glory Be to the Father.  Please join with us and the Rosary club now as we say a decade of the Rosary.  Try to make some time this month to pray the Rosary. Please remember that Mr Soyka and Mrs Porter will pray the Rosary every Thursday and Friday of this month at 8.45am in the prayer area. We hope you can make it.
