A Prayer for R U OK? Day
WE WALK TOGETHER:
We walk together in hope, just as Jesus walked with others and asked them what they needed.
Today we pray that we may be guided by the Spirit to do the same
We walk with those who feel lost, overwhelmed or alone and we endeavour to create a space where others can be real.
We listen, because people matter. We walk with each other, because connection matters and we ask “RUOK”, because we care.
We reach out in love to those we know. We pray for those we cannot reach and we practice self-compassion, as we carry our own pain.
Leaving space for more to say. We trust that God is walking with us every step of the way, whispering to our hearts.
We hold each other, today, in love, and we are held in love by the Compassionate One.
Today we stand together, held in love.
Amen
by Timothy Hart
Tomorrow we will celebrate our end of term whole school Liturgy in the hall at 9.05 before our Footy day parade. You are very welcome to join us.

Junior Legion of Mary
Can my “Yes” make a difference? Mary’s “Yes” at the age of about 15 changed the world. Consider the changes in your life if you say yes to her by working for her. She would not be asking you to take on anything that would be too difficult for you, only something that is good for you and someone else.
How the Legion can help you.
The Apostles prayed together and went out in pairs to bring the Good News to people. In the Junior Legion, this is also our way. Each week we reserve a time to pray, to go out and do some active work. This work is a great stepping stone for adult responsibilities by giving you the necessary experience in helping others, within a caring system.
What work can be done by juniors?
● Serve at Holy Mass
● Give out Miraculous Medals
● Help at home
● Visit the elderly at a nursing home
● Correspond with other Junior Legion Groups
● Encourage family members to pray the Rosary
● Help out at Parish functions
● Hand out bulletins before Mass
● Plus many more activities as requested by the Parish Priest.
We have fun raising money for different missions and charities. In May, we raised $805 by having a car wash which was great fun. Each school holidays we have a fun day and the past holidays we went to see “Minions: the Rise of Gru” then lunch followed by a fun play at Ballam Park.
If your child shows interest in joining the Legion we pray you will encourage that interest. We meet at St Anne’s Catholic Church Meeting Room each Saturday of the School Term at 4pm to 5pm and once a month stay on for the 6pm Mass. In-between we have pizzas. We encourage all families to be with us at Mass on that particular Saturday. All families are welcome to stay the hour with the children if they so choose.
Meeting Day: Saturdays during school term
Time: 4pm to 5pm
Place: St Anne’s Catholic Church Meeting Room
