FORGIVENESS CEREMONY
Lent
On Monday, February 27, the Eastern Catholic Church began the lenten season with a Forgiveness Service in the school Chapel. Each class was called separately to the chapel; after a brief introduction, Father began the service.
After the prayers were completed, each student went to the front of the chapel to ask for forgiveness, and to be annointed with the oil of healing.
Each girl would then form a circle around the chapel as
they asked one another for forgiveness, followed by an embrace or a handshake.
Upon leaving t
he chapel, each girl received a pocket cross to carry with her during the lenten season.
