Next Friday, October 2nd, we will celebrate a very special date for Les Alzines Bell-lloc: the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels, patrons of our school. This day also coincides with the anniversary of the founding of Opus Dei and allows us to remember the beginnings of Bell-lloc, 61 years ago, and of Les Alzines, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
We want it to be a festive day and also an opportunity for students to learn, in a way adapted to each age, the meaning of the Guardian Angels and the significance this celebration holds for our school.
To share the joy of this day, all students and teachers will enjoy hot chocolate with ladyfingers and, throughout the day, each stage will participate in different activities.
At the Bell-lloc campus
A special Mass will be celebrated at 11 am.
In primary school, each year group will work on the celebration with a different proposal: 1st-grade students will make a craft about the Guardian Angel; in 2nd and 3rd grade, they will work on it through drawings and activities related to the day; in 4th and 5th grade, they will reflect on holiness in daily life, and 6th-grade students will watch the film Huellas en la nieve.
In ESO and baccalaureate, tutors will spend some time explaining the meaning of the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels, the anniversary of the founding of Opus Dei, and the beginnings of Bell-lloc.
At Les Alzines campus
The day will begin in the classrooms with an explanation of the meaning of the celebration, accompanied by a short video. Throughout the morning, we will share hot chocolate with ladyfingers and, at 10:50 am, we will celebrate a special Mass. The day will continue with a special lunch to celebrate this feast together. Furthermore, in primary school, they will do some crafts and, from 2nd to 6th grade, a vigil before the Blessed Sacrament.
And the little ones?
In preschool, the Guardian Angels will also be the protagonists of the day. Through the abBà! project, the children will discover who the Guardian Angel is and what it means to feel accompanied and cared for.
They will prepare a Guardian Angel craft to take home in the afternoon and will end the day with a special snack.
It will be a day to celebrate, learn, and get to know the roots and identity of Les Alzines Bell-lloc a little better.
Happy feast of the Holy Guardian Angels to everyone!
