Journey Through Holy Week 2021
This week is a very special week for us here at St. Pius X Catholic School. This Holy Week is not intended to simply be a "walk down memory lane" with our heads. Rather, it is an invitation to become engaged in Jesus' journey and to make connections with our own journey in our heart, mind, and soul. How are we to live and to face our challenges as Jesus faced his?
Let us walk through his journey, and ask him to help us with our journey in life.
There are eight events that we recognise leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion.
