Family Educator's Corner
Mrs Elena Razzoli - Family Educator
“The prayer of the elderly can protect the world,
helping it perhaps more effectively
than the frenetic activity of many others.”
Pope Benedict XVI
We thank all the St Martha’s School and Parish Grandparents for sharing their wisdom, talents and time with our whole community. Thank you for your huge, constant support and thoughtfulness. Even more, thank you for your continued, precious prayers for all the St Martha’s families, students and staff members.
May God always continue to bless you with his abundant graces, great peace and deep joy.
