On the Wednesday of Holy Week all the schools in the parish had a Day of Recollection. Father Cranshaw took the Primary School, Father Kurtz took the Boys\u2019 Secondary School, and Father Laisney took the Girls\u2019 Secondary School, St Dominic\u2019s College.<\/p>\n

Our Day of Recollection was held in the Hockey Club and the Croquet Club. We had talks in the Hockey club where we each had a table to write on and a nice chair. Sister Catherine had removed some of the Hockey photos and had put up a crucifix instead. Father spoke very well about the Mysteries of the Rosary and we said Fifteen Decades of the Rosary during the day. Between the lectures we were able to go to the Hockey Club for confessions as the Sisters had set up a confessional using the Hockey Club\u2019s notice-boards.<\/p>\n

If we were not going to Confession we spent the time between the lectures in the Croquet Club. As we had a lot of brass to clean for the Easter Ceremonies we worked silently on that while a teacher read to us or played a tape.<\/p>\n

At lunch-time we sat out on the Croquet Lawn and ate silently while the teachers played a tape. Then it was back to the brass!<\/p>\n

A nice feature of the day was the Outdoor Stations of the Cross which took place around the Croquet Lawn after lunch. Sister Catheine had made a laminated picture of each Station and we processed around them with Father leading us and all of us praying the prayers from the St Alphonsus books used in the Church.<\/p>\n

Round about 3 o\u2019clock the day ended and we could talk again. We certainly did break out then. We had to put the Hockey Hall back to its usual order, and to tidy the Croquet Club. We left much of the brass there as many of us would come voluntarily next day to continue cleaning it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
