On April 18, members of our school community joined over 1,000 pilgrims for the Diocesan Good Friday Walk ๐๏ธโan eight-hour journey from Blacktown to St Patrickโs Cathedral, Parramatta, organised by Catholic Youth Parramatta. Together, we prayed, reflected, and walked in the footsteps of Christ during Holy Week โ๏ธ. It was a powerful experience of faith, community, and renewal, reminding us of the true meaning of Lent and the hope we receive through the resurrection at Easter ๐๐ . #GoodFridayWalk #HolyWeek #FaithInAction #CatholicYouth #EasterHope #StAgnesCommunity
