Parent Engagement
"Where one or two are gathered in my name, there I am." Matthew 18: 2
Did you know that stopping to reflect each day on where God has been in your day can actively contribute to the quality of your parenting? Catholic parents are actively encouraged to have "the style of Jesus" as Pope Francis says. Our school motto of "Strength and Gentleness" epitomises the style of Jesus. Is it your style too?
Got a spare three minutes???
why not take 3 minutes to make space for an encounter with God that could be just what you need today.
An Ignatian way to pray....

Expressions of Interest for a Spiritual Retreat through Art at the Art Gallery of NSW called "The Way of the HeART."
After the success of the art show you may be feeling inspired to ponder beauty more in your life! This is a mindfulness walk through the gallery with an Ignatian flavour that I have run for the past three years. It has proven to be very popular for those wanting some time in reflective prayer or just some "time out" with God, silence and an opportunity to "see God in all things" as St Ignatius said. I can run it on a weekend, weeknight or weekday depending on interest. It takes about 2 hours. Please email me if interested.
