St Patrick’s Day

On Friday we celebrated our patron saint’s day, St Patrick’s Day.

The school was a sea of green and we celebrated with our annual activities.

The SRC led the school and parish with a beautiful Mass, Thank you.

Easter in a Box

At the end of this term we will be doing Easter in a Box. Children will need to bring in an empty shoe box for this activity. If you have any extra shoe boxes, please bring them in to share.

Project Compassion

Families have been given a Project Compassion box to support Caritas Australia during Lent. This year the theme is “Give Lent 100 %”. Each classroom also has a project compassion box where donations can be made.

PROJECT COMPASSION 2019 PRAYER

Creator God,

You are our constant hope!

In the season of Lent, you call us to prayer,

fasting and love of those most marginalised.

As a community of faith and courage,

let our gifts to Project Compassion be symbols

of hope and solidarity with our one human family.

Accompany us as we journey with Jesus

to bring ‘good news’ to all creation and ready our hearts

to work for the common good of all your people.

We ask this in Jesus’ name

AMEN

Prayer / Thoughts / Questions / Reflection for the week:

WEEK 1: ZIMBABWE 1ST SUNDAY OF LENT

Twelve-year-old Thandolwayo would walk seven kilometres each day, threatened by crocodiles, to collect contaminated water for her family. It looked like she would never realise her hope of finishing her education and becoming a nurse, until a Caritas Australia-supported project created access to clean water helping Thandolwayo to stay at school and achieve a future full of hope. Please donate to Project Compassion 2019 to provide access to clean water and a future full of hope for vulnerable communities in Zimbabwe.

WEEK 2: INDONESIA 2ND SUNDAY OF LENT

Tati lives in the remote forest of West Kalimantan. She is a mother of three who was earning an income working in a local rubber plantation. Since taking part in eco-tourism training with Caritas Australia and its partners, Tati can now afford to send her children to school. With new hope and commitment, Tati aspires to a future free from poverty for her family. Please donate to Project Compassion 2019 and help lift communities in Indonesia out of poverty and give them hope to protect our common home.

God Bless, Mrs Flanagan REC
