Before and after Vatican ii

Pre Vatican II	After Vatican II (1960)
Mass said in Latin	Mass said in local language
Catholic schools were taught by priests and nuns	Catholic schools are now taught by anyone that has at least a bit of background of teaching in a Catholic way.
Nuns wore full habits and were recognised by the public	Some orders of nuns can now wear appropriate “mufti”.
Everyone went to Mass dressed the best	Everyone chooses to dress however they want
Women weren’t allowed to have important roles in Mass	Women are now allowed to take the important roles in Mass such as Eucharistic ministers.
There was the same music for every mass(probably said in Latin)	Now the music are chosen by the priest, who chooses an appropriate song for the congregation.

My Unsung Hero Narrative

Unsung Hero

I can’t believe this has happened! I woke up in the middle of the freezing winter night hearing the fire alarm blaring. I could scarcely hear my brother telling me to go outside. Half awake, I trudged downstairs where my mum was trying frantically to put out a batty, brutal, blazing fire in our living room. Her eyes were terrified as she ushered us outside and ordered us to knock on our neighbours doors, and ask them for help.

“Come on.” My brother said nervously, but thrilled at the same time. Squish Squelch! The mud under my feet sent chills down my spine. My brother and I ascended one of our neighbours steps, ‘Creak!’ I felt like I was in a horror movie. We knocked once, no answer, twice, nothing, three times, and still nothing! So we descended the stairs with a sigh and went to knock on the rest of our neighbours doors. All of the houses repeated the same situation, knocking once, twice and three times with no response. Overcome with defeat, we leaned against our house, full of anxiety, and unsure if we should go inside. My eyes were fluttering, sleep taking over me, when suddenly a bright light jolted me awake, and a roar of an engine filling me with hope.

Learning Languages - SPAIN

As part of our Learning Languages study Mrs Ashe asked us to present a project on a country where our chosen language is spoken.

The Resurrection

April 1 2016

Lord,

Today I experienced the resurrection many times:

When it was raining at school, but lunch had already finished.

When I didn’t want to get up in the morning, but I had a really good day.

When we had to go to Rm4, but had a fun time helping little kids.

Lord, the resurrection means more

than coming back from the dead:

it is having faith in each tomorrow,

Amen.
