2nd Sunday of Lent : Transformation
The readings for the coming Sunday encourage us to think about faith, transformation and God's promises.
Jesus took Peter, John and James to a mountain while he prayed. A cloud overshadowed them, and a voice said, "This is my chosen Son: listen to him".
We are encouraged to reflect on the fact that we can trust in God's promises and have faith that no matter what battles we have God is with us.

Project Compassion:
During Lent we are encouraged to think about others. We are taking part in Project Compassion run by Caritas. The children are talking about giving hope to others. They are considering how they can help the dignity of all people. We are encouarging children rather than just asking for money, to complete a job at home in order to earn some money to bring for Project Compassion.
Thank you for your support.
Faith Development Opportunity
Fr Martin is inviting our school community to take part in faith development nights over Lent. Fr Elio Capra is a very knowledgeable and interesting man. He is speaking with our staff later in the year at our Retreat conference. Please see flyer for details.
