CONFESSION EXPLAINED










Too often we think that confession is this scary thing.













 We think that this will happen
That we will be judged. That we will be yelled at. Sometimes we may wonder why we need to confess to the priest. Why can't I just ask God for forgiveness ?  These are great questions and we will discuss them tomorrow.

It is important to keep in mind that God already knows all of our sins. Is confession, this public act  of sorrow somehow necessary for us ? Do WE get something from the act or experience of telling our sins out loud to another ? Are we made different by this act of humility? Who is the priest in the confessional?

The Church gives us this gift, the sacrament of reconciliation, as  means of getting closer to our Lord. Christ calls us to be humble and We will continue to discuss this at school. Here is a link to help explain

Dear Parents,

There will be an assembly on Friday March 3rd in the school gym. February was officially recognized  as Black History Month by the Parliament of Canada in 1995. For the last couple weeks, we have been working hard on our Black History Month Assembly. The whole class is involved. The assembly is the culmination of our language and dance unit. We have been working on biographies and monologues.  We would love if you could join us on Friday. Please consider attending. It will begin at 2:30 pm on Friday afternoon. I hope to see you there.
