Alekisio holy week journey

 Holy week starts on Palm Sunday, it 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 hearts, minds 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 and we call them Station of the cross. Station 1 Palm Sunday and it's symbols are leaves and candles that we put onto the cross. -
