Special Character
This week for our Religious education we are teaching the first week of Advent:
The word “Advent” comes from the Latin word adventus, which means “coming.” Advent was a time of preparation for Jesus' birth. Advent is a chance to focus our thoughts on the gift God has given us in his son Jesus who stepped down from Heaven and took the form of a man so that we might believe. The tradition for the first Sunday of Advent includes lighting the candle of hope. This candle of hope symbolizes promises delivered through the prophets from God as well as the hope we have in Christ

The Feast of the Presentation is the Feast day when we celebrate the day when Mary was presented in the Temple in Jerusalem. It is the feast day of the Presentation Sisters who came to teach in New Zealand in 1950 from Ireland and a small group arrived in Green Island Dunedin in 1954. Their Foundress was Nano Nagle. St Peter Chanel School in Green Island was started by the Presentation Sisters. The Nano Nagle Trust supports many families and children throughout New Zealand in Catholic Schools.https://www.nanonagletrust.com
