Today, our school community gathered in prayer to observe Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of the Lenten season. The Eucharistic celebration was presided over by Fr Butonga, Parish Priest from Tabuaeran, and was well coordinated and served by our parish catechists.
Ash Wednesday called us to a season of prayer, conversion, and penitence, strengthening our faith and inviting us to live in solidarity with others within our parish, school community, and the wider world.
Following the Mass, the Induction and Blessing of Student Leaders was held for our Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputies, Team Leaders, Prefects, and Class Leaders. This marked the official beginning of their leadership responsibilities and entrusted them to God’s guidance as they serve with humility and commitment.
We sincerely thank Fr Butonga for his inspiring homily, reminding us of the Lenten pillars of Prayer, Conversion, and Generosity, and we are grateful to the Tabwakea community and our catechists for walking with us in faith as we begin this sacred journey together.
