Junior Primary Pilgrimage 2019

Last Friday (Week 4), the junior Primary boys attended a pilgrimage with our friends from Wollemi College. It was a deeply religious morning where both school travelled to Our Lady of the Assumption Chapel at Homebush to pray together.
This was followed by an afternoon of fun and games at Homebush Aquatic Centre.
All of our friends loved the pilgrimage and look forward to next year's one. Some of our friends also wrote recounts that they would like to share with you!

“Ahhh!” Jacob and Yuvi shouted as they dived into the whirlpool after a morning of praying and thinking of Mary. The junior Primary boys had just come back from their important pilgrimage and were cooling off at the brilliant aquatic centre. The Year 2 boys couldn’t believe how exciting it was to watch their friends get sucked into the whirlpool and all had a good time.

SPLASH ! Years 2, 3 and 4 travelled by luxury bus to Homebush for their annual pilgrimage, which included a stop at the pool before we went home. A pilgrimage is when you travel to a holy place and it is different from an excursion. We were so excited to meet boys from the other Pared school, Wollemi College – they were just as respectful and prayerful as us. Both schools prayed and played together. Thank you to Mr Corke for organising this very special day for us.

“Our Father, who art in heaven. hallowed be thy name!” could be heard from the bus as it took the younger Redfield boys on our pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is a holy trip to a place you can pray. It was quite special, as it was the first time our school and Wollemi joined together to pray the rosary at Homebush. After our big prayer, we went swimming at the Homebush Aquatic Centre. We had the most fun, especially when we went in the massive whirlpool and got drenched
by the gigantic water bucket, which kept tipping water on us.
