Liturgical Year
The notion of time helps us
celebrate life
by marking and recalling the important
dates and events in our lives eg: Birthdays, anniversaries , graduations, etc.
Time has an important place in our spiritual life:
It helps us
reconnect
with God.
There are two types of time:
1.
Chronos -
is
the time we
measure
e.g.
hours, days, weeks, minutes
2.
Kairos -
can be described with a religious focus as
the Lord’s time.
Liturgical Year/Calendar
The Liturgical Calendar embodies a rich tradition and shapes the way we experience worship,
enriching and strengthening our spiritual journey.
The Liturgical Calendar structures our year enabling us to celebrate the life, death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The liturgical calendar is cyclical in nature.
The calendar remains the same but we experience the liturgical seasons in a different way each
time of encounter.
It is crucial that we provide our Catholic School students with a varied and deep experience of
the Church’s seasons. There are many adaptations possible that allow for connections for
students, and develop a sense of belonging to something that is bigger than the individual, and
ultimately, life-giving and nourishing.
