RE NEWS
By Sonia Costa
We’re back! Another lockdown in which we all pulled together and showed grit, courage and collaboration. As you can see from the posters below the seniors continued with their RE unit of work. I am grateful that we, at St Kevin’s, have the opportunity and means to continue to teach our students, even in lockdown. Here is a prayer that I recently came across on the Jesuit resource website that I thought would resonate with most of us as we continue to be challenged by the pandemic
When this is over, may we never again take for granted:
A handshake with a stranger, full shelves at the store , conversations with neighbors
A crowded theatre, Friday night out, the taste of communion, a routine checkup
The school rush each morning, coffee with a friend, the stadium roaring, each deep breath
A boring Tuesday, life itself.
When this ends, may we find that we have become more like the people we wanted to be, were called to be, hoped to be and may we stay that way--better for each other
because of the worst.
- Laura Kelley Fanucci
Sunday Gospel Readings
During Term 3 each class at St Kevin’s School is allocated the gospel reading for the following weekend’s mass. In Religious Education lessons the gospel is read and discussed with the students to unpack its meaning and message. Then each class designs a poster which reflects their understanding of this gospel. The poster is displayed on the parish website
Dates to Remember
Grandparents and Special Friends Mass
16th September 10:15am St Kevin’s Church
Don't forget about the parish website which has fabulous articles and children’s activities. Also each week in the Family Page and Fun Worksheetssection of the website there are links to that weekend's Gospel activities. There are two gospel links: one for the juniors and one for the seniors. These activities can be downloaded and printed or just viewed. These worksheets will help the children understand the gospel message for that particular reading.
