My Blog Tour

This is my blog tour. I created it using screencastify. I learnt how to share my learning in a different way, by creating a screencastify and sharing it to everyone.

Report On Oscar Romero

Oscar Romero was a very holy man. He was born in Ciudad Barrios, El Salvador on August 15th 1917. He had a big family that lived in a small home with not enough money, though they had more than most of their neighbours. As a young boy, Oscar was determined to become a priest. At the age of 14 he joined the Catholic priesthood. In the year 1977, he became Archbishop of San Salvador. A few weeks after he became Archbishop, his friend, Rutilio Grande was brutally murdered. The death of his friend changed the way Oscar felt and thought.

After Oscar changed, he felt  an urge to change the way the poor and the oppressed were treated. He started public speaking and telling everyone about the ‘disappearances’ and murders of others. To help spread the message to everyone in El Salvador he spoke on a radio broadcast. By doing this, he gave hope to the people whose voices couldn’t be heard. While he was fighting for the oppressed and the poor, he angered the government and the rich and powerful. After some time, the government took matters in their own hands and blew up the radio broadcast headquarters. The day before Oscar died, he went to talk directly to the soldiers. He said to them “I beg you… I implore you…. I order… in the name of God, stop the repression!” The evening after, on March 24 1980, he was shot while taking a mass by an assassin who was working for the government.

The death of Oscar Romero caused many people grief and pain. Thousands of people attended his funeral. However, people died and hundreds were injured because the army opened fire at them. 12 years after his death, people found out that the ex-mayor of San Salvador, General Roberto D’Aubuisson, was the reason why Oscar Romero died. Oscar Romero was canonized on the 23rd of May 2015.

Letter To Mrs. Kopua

On Wednesday 8th June, Room 5 had a bake sale to help raise money for us to buy stuff that we could donate to a charity called Women's Refuge. Each one of us wrote a letter to send to our principal, Mrs. Kopua. Here is mine:

Dear Mrs. Kopua,

Room 5 are creating a care box for Women’s Refuge and other organisations. I was wondering if Christ the King could have a barbecue or a bake sale to help raise some money for Room 5 to buy some things we may need to make things donate to them.

I could ask one of my family members to volunteer to help with the sausage sizzle and the bake sale.

Could we please have it on Week 5 this term?

Thanks Mrs Kopua for helping us to Pay it Forward.

From,

Maranita

Vatican II Before and After

Pre Vatican II	After Vatican II (1964)
Mass said in Latin	Mass said in local language
Women could not take up roles such as altar servers, Church ministers and other roles.	Women are now allowed to become ministers, upfront as readers and other roles in the Church.
It was the Church's rule that the Priest faced away from the congregation (facing to God)	The Priest now faces the congregation
The Jews were our enemies because they killed  Jesus	The Jews are now part of our human family, because they are our brothers and sisters in humanity.
Before Vatican II, the whole world sang the same songs according to the Rome and the Catholic calendar.	Churches can now select hymns of their own that represents their unique community and culture.
