In New Zealand at the start of the year Catholic schools have school blessings.

Every year the priest comes and blesses our school with holy water.

The school gathers together, Father reads from the bible and then he and some of the kids read some prayers.

After that Father blesses the children and teachers and sprinkles holy water. He goes to every room in the school and out to bless the playground too.

Meanwhile we sing songs and continue to pray.

School blessings are a great way to start the year and to help us have a wonderful year knowing God is going to be with us at every moment of the year.
