All Saints Day
Holy Rosary Catholic School aims to inspire students to know, understand and live out Catholic Christianity as an expression of faith in our modern world. Complementary to and supporting the curriculum, are many and varied opportunities for the expression of faith – both on an individual basis and within communal gatherings. HRCS celebrates its Catholic faith through classroom prayer, weekly masses, liturgies based around seasonal events in the Catholic Church and significant events in our school year. This week we are celebrating the Feast of All Saints Day. All Saints Day celebrates both known and unknown saints. Saints are those who are believed to have reached heaven. All Saints’ Day is not the same as All Soul’s Day. All Soul’s Day is dedicated to those who still have not reached heaven.
As a Catholic school, we have a unique role in the evangelising and educating mission of the Church.
Prayer for All Saints Day
They left their mark on the earth for you, for us, for our children to come.
Thank you, God, for the tremendous sacrifices made by those who have gone before us.
Bless the memories of your saints, God.
May we learn how to walk wisely from their examples of faith, dedication, worship, and love.
AMEN
