Feast of the Ascension – 21^st May

The Feast of the Ascension commemorates a pivotal moment in the life of Jesus Christ. After His resurrection, Jesus spent forty days appearing to His disciples and teaching them about the Kingdom of God. On the fortieth day, Jesus ascended into Heaven before the eyes of His disciples, promising to send the Holy Spirit to guide and empower them. As a school community we will be marking this feast within class prayer and activities.
