Education in Faith

Welcome back to our St James families and a special welcome to our new families beginning their St James journey this year. This year we hope to be able to share many Masses, Prayer Services and Sacramental Celebrations together as a community once more. Our first opportunity to gather as a school and parish community will be at the Founders' Day Mass on Sunday 7th February. We look forward to seeing all our families there. 

Founders' Day Mass

When: Sunday 7th February 2021 at 9.45am 

Where: St John’s Church, Mitcham

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

I welcome everything that comes to me today

because I know it’s for my healing.

I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons,

situations, and conditions.

I let go of my desire for power and control.

I let go of my desire for affection, esteem,

approval and pleasure.

I let go of my desire for survival and security.

I let go of my desire to change any situation,

condition, person or myself.

I open to the love and presence of God and

God’s action within. Amen

A prayer by Father Thomas Keating
