Q1 It is tradition for people to eat pancakes on the day before Lent starts as many years ago Christians would use up ingredients that they would refrain from eating during Lent.

Q2 Father John burnt palms from last palm Sunday. He mixed the ashes with holy water and at Ash Wednesday Mass he puts the sign of the cross on our forehead blesses us. He says "Repent and believe in the Gospel"

Q3 Our class Lenten Promise is we will show friendly behaviours to each other.

Q4 The money we give to project compassion goes to help feed people all around the World.
