--- title: "Lent" url: "https://cathedral.lancs.sch.uk/news/2026-02-24-lent" school: "The Cathedral Catholic Primary School" --- # Lent ![](https://files.schudio.com/cathedralprimaryschool/images/CatholicLifeoftheschool/Lent_display.JPG) 24 February 2026 We are now in the season of Lent and our classroom and school prayer areas reflect this. For Christians, Lent is a time of growth when we strive to grow to become more like Jesus. We do this through fasting (giving something up), giving to others and prayer. In our classes and at lunchtime, the children will be praying the Stations of the Cross. The letter below outlines the fundraising activities our GIFT team will lead during Lent.
