Join us on a creative Lenten journey! From March 5 to April 17, reflect on a daily one-word theme and capture a photo that inspires you. Share your images on social media using #ABDLent and #ANPC.

Day 15 #Break
#BreakWe use this word all the time.We break bread.We take a break.We break down.We break up.We break open.Here, brokenness is transformed. Fragments of colour come together to create something new—a cross, a church—symbols of faith, belonging, and restoration.So,...
Day 14 #Gather
We #gather, ready to begin.The Easter Journey.We’ve planned, prepared, and prayed. And now it’s almost here.There’s excitement—but also nerves. Will it go well? Will the pupils connect? Will we remember everything?But then—we pause. We look around. And we remember:...
Day 13 #Listen
This is Boltanski’s 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳. The installation doesn't attempt to explain or resolve. It simply 𝘪𝘴. It offers no neat conclusions. No comforting certainties—only shadows and echoes, restless and shifting. Standing here—a presence hangs in the air, elusive and...

Day 9 #Balance
Life is a delicate dance between holding on and letting go. Our roots ground us—family, traditions, values, and experiences that shape who we are. They provide stability, offering a sense of belonging and security. But wings are just as essential. They represent...
Day 8 #Touch
#Touch. A hand. Open. Reaching. Inviting. Because touch? It’s powerful. It connects. It reminds. It heals. It says, I see you. I am here. Sometimes, that’s all we need. To know we’re not alone. Jesus touched the ones no one else would. The ones others avoided,...
Day 7 #Step
It seems small. Ordinary. Just one foot in front of the other. But that’s how it always begins.Some steps are bold, taken with confidence. Others are hesitant, shaky, uncertain. Some feel like progress. Others feel like you're stuck in place. But every step...
