Last week, Sr Rachel spoke to kauri whanau about her missionary work in the Philippines. Sr Rachel's order is known as the 'Missionaries of Mary.' She talked about the significance and meaning of the different parts of her uniform, these included: veil (humility), scapular (service), the colour blue (peace and heaven) and the white (means Christ's resurrection). After a brief introduction, Sr Rachel showed us images of her service work overseas. We then discussed the importance of 'giving something up' for Lent and the necessity of prayer during this special time leading up towards Easter. We wrapped wool around our wrist to remind us of our commitment towards our lenten promise. Thanks Sr Rachel and God bless.
