Catholic Schools Week Prayer Liturgy & Tree Planting

12 Mar 2014

Planting the tree presented by Michelle Rowland MP

We opened Catholic School Week with a prayer liturgy prepared by Kindergarten.

Our federal MP Michelle Rowland attended the liturgy and presented children with Mercy Awards for their tireless work in looking after our environment.

Ms Rowland also presented St Anthony's with some new books and a special tree.

The tree was then planted in our Friendship Garden by Mrs Grieves and the "Wormies" Group.

Students participated in a prayer service πŸ™ led by Faith in Action students and Fr Joby. Catholics believe that Mary was taken up into heaven by God ✨, not just her soul, but her whole body too, because she was so pure and full of grace πŸ’–. We learnt how Mary is a model of: 🌸 M – Mary is the Mother of Jesus πŸ‘Ά β€” and also our spiritual Mother. πŸ’ž A – Act with Mercy. Mary was kind and gentle to everyone 🀝. πŸ“Ώ R – Rosary. When we pray the Rosary, we think about the special moments in Jesus’ life ✝️ and remember Mary’s love ❀️. 🌟 Y – Mary said β€˜Yes!’ to God πŸ™Œ.
