Reflections on the Gospel of Matthew 25: 14-15
Risk taking for God
With the words of last Sunday's Gospel, Jesus reminds us that life is a journey towards eternity; therefore, we are called to try to use all the talents that we have, without ever forgetting that “here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come” (Heb 13:14). In this perspective, every instant becomes precious, and thus we must live and act on this earth, while longing for heaven: our feet on the ground, walking on the ground, working on the ground, doing good on the ground and the heart longing for heaven. -https://www.vaticannews.va/en/word-of-the-day/2020/11/15.html
Vinnie's Christmas Hamper
The St Vincent de Paul Society assists people experiencing poverty and inequality and works to shape a more just and compassionate society.
This year we are inviting you to donate non-perishable items for a Christmas hamper. This will be presented to staff of Quirindi's local St Vincent de Paul organisation at the end of Week 7. Please send in canned and dried foods - for pets too! - to be placed in labelled baskets outside the front office for the next 2 weeks.
Your donation is very much appreciated.
Advanced Notice for Sacraments 2021
If you would like your child (or children) to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion (Year 3 and 4) or the Sacrament of Confirmation (Year 5 and 6) in 2021, notes will be sent home with those students - whom we are aware of - that are eligible to prepare for these, today. Please indicate your interest and return notes before the end of the school year to allow for Parish Catechists and our teachers to make the necessary preparations to comply with restrictions.
