On Tuesday 25th February the children will be treated to Pancakes to mark the day before Lent begins. This year our Year 5 and 6 children and teachers have invited the parishioners to join in this special morning tea. Our children will then take our parishioners on a tour of our school.

 The name Shrove comes from the old middle English word 'Shriven' meaning to go to confession to say sorry.  Lent always starts on a Wednesday, so people went to confessions on the day before. This became known as Shriven Tuesday and then Shrove Tuesday.

Pancake Day, comes from the old English custom of using up all the fattening ingredients in the house before Lent, so that people were ready to fast during Lent. The fattening ingredients that most people had in their houses in those days were eggs and milk. A very simple recipe to use up these ingredients was to combine them with some flour and make pancakes!

St Timothy's children will be attending Ash Wednesday Mass on Wednesday February 26th at 9:15 am. Families are invited to join the children , teachers and parishioners at this mass. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent . It last for 40 days and ends with the celebration of Easter Sunday.

Our Production for 2020 is Go Noah. We are starting the ball rolling by already putting out requests for anyone that may have animal costumes ( e.g onesie) . They can be 'traditional' animals on the ark or a more 'Australian flavour', WE may even have some keen sewers who can design/make costumes. A variety of sizes would be fantastic. 

We will also be looking for volunteers to help the children create the background scenes/props.Please let the office know if you can assist.
