Chaplain's Corner March 27th | Notre Dame School

In our final Prep School assembly of the term we sang a hymn, ‘Thank you for the Cross.’ The words of the hymn refer to Jesus giving himself completely, that our sins would be forgiven. As the hymn then continues to reflect, Jesus gave himself out of pure and total love for humankind. Let’s personalise that: Jesus gave himself out of pure and total love for us, for you, for me.

The week to come, Holy Week and then Easter Day, is the greatest week in the Christian calendar. Christ suffered and died on the cross and then was raised from the dead for the forgiveness of sins and to bring the promise of life everlasting.
Thank you indeed, Jesus, for the cross, and thank you, that through God the Father you Jesus were raised to new life, a new life which, God-willing, we will all one day share.
Wishing you every blessing during Holy Week and at Easter.

Mr George, School Chaplain

Lenten Lunch

On Tuesday students from Year 3 to Year 13 took part in a special ‘Lenten Lunch’. This simple lunch encouraged students to reflect with gratitude on everything that they are provided with throughout the year. While eating, students had the opportunity to read postcards communicating information about the lives of students in some of the Company of Mary Our Lady’s schools around the world. Students were engaged in finding out about many of the similarities between Notre Dame and our sister schools, and some of the challenges faced by students in different parts of the world.
