Advent Prayer Week 1

Almighty God, 

We begin this Advent Season 

as an ‘Advent People’ – 

people of hope, ready to do your will. 

Let your blessing come upon us 

as we light this wreath. 

May it turn our hearts to you in the days ahead. Grant us the peace and joy we long for, 

as we await the coming of your Son 

with patient hearts. 

We ask this through Christ our Lord. 

Amen.

Social Justice News: Zooper Dooper Fridays

As part of our Social Justice initiatives, our Social Justice Leaders are selling Zooper Doopers at lunchtime on Fridays for the remainder of this term. The money raised will be donated to Catholic Mission and the Mary MacKillop Foundation to help support the wonderful work they do in working with people in need. Zooper Doopers cost $1.00 each. 

Thank you for your support.
