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, already 61 years ago, and of Les Alzines, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary.
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 staff 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 grade will approach the celebration with a different proposal: 1st graders will make a craft about the Guardian Angel; 2nd and 3rd graders will work on it through drawings and activities related to the day; 4th and 5th graders will reflect on holiness in daily life, and 6th graders will watch the film Huellas en la nieve.
In ESO and Baccalaureate, tutors will dedicate time to explain 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 the 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 meal to celebrate this feast together. Additionally, primary students will do some crafts and, from 2nd to 6th grade, a candle to the Blessed Sacrament.
And the little ones?
In early childhood education, the Guardian Angels will also be the protagonists of the day. Through the abBà! project, 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 that they will 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 a little more about the roots and identity of Les Alzines Bell-lloc.
Happy Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels to all!
