Recently a great deal of care went into beautifying the surroundings of the church. There’s a little pond with goldfish and wooden benches invite people to sit down to take a rest and maybe do a bit of reflecting.
On Good Friday at 10 o’clock the Stations of the Cross started. A great many children gathered in their costumes to take part in the Stations of the Cross. I only remembered today that I had not yet published the pictures I took on that day.
Near the school I noticed the above poster. The Catholic Primary School is right next to the church. There was plenty of space for the Stations of the Cross in the school grounds.

I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

Hi Noeleen, I had had no idea that on the 21st March there had been such a thing as Harmony Day. Things like this don’t make the big news, do they? I discovered this poster totally by chance.
I’m glad I went to the Stations of the Cross on that day. These stations were so sad and so beautiful at the same time. 😦 🙂
I love the pond!! That is a great addition. There is something about water that always makes me peaceful, even in a small, confined still pond. Perfect for a church! I love the Stations of the Cross. ox
Long time since I have heard the words, Stations of the Cross Auntyuta, way back in the dim distant past of my altar boy days I think, enjoyed the pictures and memory.

I am sure, Ian, you would have felt at home with this crowd that gathered there on Good Friday. Having the Stations of the Cross in an outside area is a great experience.
I am glad I was able to take some pictures.
Cheerio, Auntyuta.
Beautiful pictures! I love the pond 🙂
Thanks, Lyndzee.
I like the ‘celebrate Australia’s diversity’ – that’s great.
Oh, that pond is so sweet. I’d LOVE that in my place.
My Babasia used to go to Stations of the Cross each year, I cannot forget. She was very Roman Catholic.

This year I loved them especially. It was such a beautiful background and perfect weather. Thanks for commenting, Debra.
