"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."– 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.
This is a perfect passage to use as a prayer before meals. As a family you could even spend two minutes at the end of the day saying what you were grateful for on this day. Gratitude, when practiced regularly, helps us to have a positive mindset and lets us see where God is working in our lives!

Thanks so much to those who gathered for coffee and connection at our last Coffee Connect. It is always good to connect informally - next Coffee Connect will be on 7th September.
In Kindy this week we also had some parents come in for "Kindy K-nect" where we all made a rosary chaplet for the Year 12 students who used to go to the school! The Parish has a Mass for them in October and we will gift them this little present from our Kinders who show kindness in all they do! Year 1 will be writing the message of love for them.

Thank you to Boris and Marcus' Mum from Kindy who helped pack the Mary Mackillop Game that was sent home last week. Have you played it yet? The Martin Family has! Five Gold Stars to them for also making me day by sending in a photo!!
Thank you to all the Year 3 families who came to last Sunday Children's Mass and to the regular parents who play and coordinate the choir. What gems! If you have a child who wants to join the gorgeous Parish children's choir, please email me! We also commissioned our new Year 5 Altar servers which was wonderful.
In Christ,
