Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday, the final ‘green’ day before Lent. Rosary was said in church at 11.15am, one good soul arrived for confession, Angelus & Mass were offered at noon, a meeting of the Community Centre Steering Committee was held, Ash Wednesday was prepared and a sermon for Sunday was written. Phew! And what was my reward for all this dediacted hard work? Certainly not pancakes – as I went without…cue sympathy!! Hayley and I both having forgot to organise something.
Jemima was more fortunate however, having fully indulged herself on them at nursery! And she was not alone in ‘preschool pancake pandemonium’ for as I arrived at Church I was welcomed by our very own group, the ‘Barna-bus’, eagerly tossing pancakes around an obstacle course!! Hence the photographs in today’s post. Full marks to Hilary, the deputy head, for having celebrated each and every child’s efforts with such rapture and enthusiasm!
And now it is Ash Wednesday….a meeting in school at 8am; school Mass with imposition of ashes at 10am…and Solemn Mass with imposition at 8pm. Let us begin in earnest our preparations for the Easter feast.
