Teddy Bear Sleepover & Winter Appeal

This week the Prep and Year 1 students brought in some special teddy bear friends who had a sleepover in the school library. The teddies also brought along a donation for the winter appeal.

Thank you to our amazing librarian, Narelle for organising this initiative and to Ann for her support setting up.

Gospel Reflection - Sunday 11th June

Gospel Reading

John 6:51-58

Jesus says, “I am the living bread.”

Family Connection

Our faith teaches us that when we gather to celebrate Mass, Jesus is present to us. The bread and wine truly become the Body and Blood of Christ. This is what we mean by the word transubstantiation: Jesus makes himself present to all who receive the Body and Blood of Christ.

If there are children in your family who have already celebrated their First Holy Communion, invite them to share their memories of this special day. If there are family photos taken on this occasion, bring them out and share them together. Adults in the family may also share memories or photos that they have of their First Communion. Then read together today’s Gospel, John 6:51–58. Reflect together on what Jesus means when he calls himself the “living bread.” Recall that every time we receive the Eucharist, Jesus keeps the promise he made in today’s Gospel—those who eat his flesh and drink his blood will remain forever connected to him. Perhaps family members can share what it means for them to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. Together thank God for this gift of Holy Communion. 

Pray together the Lord’s Prayer

Thanks
