Special Character Prayers

Special Characters did prayers this morning. The focus was on advent. Since Christmas is coming, the Catholic community is starting to celebrate the delivery of Jesus. This is a very important celebration in the Catholic community because Christmas marks the day Jesus was born. We all can't wait for Christmas as it is the day Jesus was born!

Graduation/Last Year Mass

Yesterday at 5:30 Good Shepherd school we had the year six Graduation mass. I'm the year six boy who lit the candles and gave leadership candles to the year fives. We sang our Good Shepherd Songs like "The Lord is My Shepherd" and "Candle In the Light". Then we did a dance performance. The song was "Tyrone Wells- Time of Our Lives". It was really fun doing the dance.

Halloween Slide

Today for celebration activities, I did a slide about Halloween because I like the idea of how you go trick or treating. Halloween is the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallows' Day (also known as All Saints' or Hallow-mas) on 1 November and All Souls' Day on 2 November, thus giving the holiday on 31 October the full name of All Hallows' Eve (meaning the evening before All Hallows' Day).

Ash Wednesday!

Yesterday the whole school went to mass for the Ash Wednesday Mass! When our class went to the church the doors were wide open. Our class walked in seeing the bright purple colours,it was blinding! Well kind of…

As soon as we sat on the chairs the people were talking and talking until the priest was there. The priest had purple clothes and a microphone under his clothes on his chest.

We were listening to the priest talking about religious things,but i can’t remember what he said. When he said,” We may now stand up”,We sang the first song which is the “The Good Shepherd”.

I heard all of the beautiful singing,it was amazing! I didn’t drink and eat the bread and wine at all because I didn’t have go up there to have it...But I smelt the perfume that the woman were using.

I felt the ashes itching on my forehead,but I got use to it. As soon as we all kneeled down it felt good at first but it didn’t at all for a while… When we got up my legs were hurting so much! (Well not too much). I loved singing the heavenly songs,well my voice was kind of getting tired but it was worth it!

I said to my mind,”When is this going to end because this is a pretty long mass”,But then it ended,the priest did everything that he had to do. All of the people said goodbye to all and left. The school just did normal stuff after that.

I loved the Mass and so as everyone did it is very important and Holy. The whole entire school had a great time!
