Lent is the time of the year when we reflect on the stations of the cross.
Opening Prayer:
Merciful god,
look upon us as we enter these forty days,
bearing the mark of ashes,
and bless our journey through the desert of Lent.
May our fasting be hunger for justice;
our palms, a making of peace;
our prayer, the chant of humble and grateful hearts,
all that we do and pray in the name of Jesus,
for in his cross you proclaim your love
forever and ever.
Amen
Closing prayer:
As we live through this Ash Wednesday,
may the crosses of ashes that mark our foreheads
be a reminder to us and to those we meet
that we belong to your Son.
May our worship and prayer and penitance this day
be sustained throughout these 40 days of Lent.
Bring us refreshed and renewed
to the celebration of Christ's resurrection at Easter.
Amen
"South Sudan has a lot less electricity than New Zealand. The children get lunch at school - they eat a bean mix and share plates." Ana Rm 5
"Famine in South Sudan - Caritas helps by providing food for the people and they are helping to make peace. Caritas has multiple camps in different countries."
Daniel W Rm 6
"The people people in South Sudan speak different dialects. Michael taught us how to say 'thank you' = 'shukran'

A PARENTS GUIDE TO INSTAGRAM:
Keeping students safe on line is a challenge that teachers and parents face daily.
Instagram and Netsafe have recently released a guide for parents to keep young people safe as they share their life in pictures online.
This meeting has been postponed.
Please be advised that the NZEI have postponed the upcoming paid union meeting for the teachers this Thursday 21 March.
Touch is has started up again and it is great to see everyone out enjoying the sun and having a runaround. Sacred Heart has two touch teams entered this year: the year 5/6 boys' team Sacred Heart Mana coached by Jonathan Bayot and mixed year 7/8 team Sacred Heart Warriors coached by John Grevatt.
Results:
Sacred Heart Mana beat Seatoun 12-4
Sacred Heart Warriors lost to St Annes 4-2
A reminder that as the games are on the astroturf at Wakefield Park, so they will not be cancelled.

Thank you all for your immesurable patience as we have been trying to work through this year’s timetable. This is now confirmed, bar confirmation of exactly where the Cathedral/SMA children’s catechism will take place. This I will confirm asap, but will either be in Connolly Hall or at Sacred Heart Primary School.
Please can everyone take note of all the dates and times as most have changed at some point as we have gone through several versions.
Thank you again for your patience and for all that you do to support this programme.
Every blessing in Christ,
