Today 10B and 10C went on a Religion Excursion to the city where we had a meaningful and reflective experience that combined faith, history, and art. We began at St Francis’ Church, where we participated in Adoration, creating a calm and prayerful atmosphere to start the day. We then visited St Patrick’s Cathedral for Lectio Divina, which encouraged deeper reflection on scripture and helped us slow down and think more thoughtfully. At the National Gallery of Victoria, we all found it interesting to explore the religious and medieval exhibits, as they showed how faith has been expressed through different time periods and styles. Having lunch by the Yarra River was a nice break where we could all relax and spend time together. We then finished the day at St Mary Star of the Sea, praying the Rosary, which felt like a peaceful and fitting way to end the excursion. Overall, the day helped us appreciate different ways of connecting with faith and understanding its importance in both personal and historical contexts.
