A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

What does the wedding feast help us understand about God's invitation to us?

We are  Living the Gospel Through Our Values

Safety – Creating a Safe Community: Following Jesus by helping everyone feel safe, welcomed and cared for through our words and actions.

Respect – Valuing Others: Following Jesus by treating every person with dignity, kindness and understanding.

 Resilience – Following Jesus Through Challenges: Following Jesus by persevering, showing courage and continuing to do what is right, even when things are difficult.

Responsibility – Caring for Others: Following Jesus by making good choices, helping others and taking responsibility for our words, actions and community.

Focusing on our school value of Respect

Respect means recognising the dignity and worth of every person, just as Jesus does.

As disciples of Jesus, we are called to show respect through our thoughts, words and deeds. We can choose to think kindly about others, speak with patience and encouragement, and act in ways that make people feel valued, safe and included.

Even when we disagree, we can treat others with dignity and choose words and actions that build people up rather than tear them down.

Before we speak or act, we can ask ourselves is this respectful? Is it kind? Would Jesus recognise His love in the way I am treating this person?

When we live our value of Respect, we show others what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

Through conversation, kindness and shared experiences, students are learning that social justice begins with respect, inclusion, dignity and caring for others. These meaningful connections remind us that every person has a story to share and a valuable place in our community.  

The Month of the Rosary

October is traditionally celebrated as the Month of the Rosary, a special time for Catholics to pray the Rosary and reflect on the life of Jesus through the eyes of Mary, His mother. The Rosary is a prayer that combines familiar prayers such as the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be with reflection on important events, or Mysteries, in the lives of Jesus and Mary.

Praying the Rosary helps us to slow down, be still and draw closer to Jesus. As we repeat the prayers, we reflect on His life, death and Resurrection and ask Mary to pray for us. It is a simple but powerful way to place our worries, hopes and intentions in God's hands and to grow in faith, trust and love.
