Ascension Thursday
Welcome to the new week, the sixth week of Easter. This Thursday is the feast of the Ascension.
It celebrates when Jesus returned to be with His Father in heaven.
It is a Holiday of Obligation, which means Catholics are expected to go to Mass on that day.
Obviously during lockdown churches are closed. However, many churches are streaming Mass live on the internet. Why not take part in one of these? You can find the Masses being live-streamed in the diocese of Motherwell here:
‘Tis the Month of Mary, the wonderful month of May
Welcome to the Taylor High School RE blog.
The month of May is celebrated as a special month to Mary.
Why not try making a May altar with a statue of Our Lady and some flowers.
You could try to say one Hail Mary each day for those working in the NHS and other key workers.
