On Ash Wednesday, secondary students from St. Mary's High School, St. Benedict's, Monsignor Doyle, Resurrection, and St. David's gathered in Hamilton for a special Ash Wednesday Mass with Bishop Crosby.
As the beginning of Lent marks a time of prayer, reflection, and service, it was fitting that these young people were given the opportunity to deepen their faith and commitment to others. During the Mass, students were commissioned to be prophets of hope, answering the call to bring light and inspiration to their schools and communities during this Jubilee Year.
A highlight of the day was the presentation of the School Board Pilgrimage Cross, which now stands in the Catholic Education Centre as a powerful symbol of hope for both the Church and the world. This cross serves as a reminder of the role our students play in spreading kindness, compassion, and faith throughout their Lenten journey and beyond.
