Parent Formation for Reconciliation Group Two
Our second session was once again a rich feast of interaction, learning and parent formation. It was a wonderful evening grounded in Scripture, as we explored the parables of reconciliation: the Lost Sheep, the Prodigal Son and Jesus calling Matthew.
Through these stories, we reflected on God’s mercy, forgiveness and the invitation to begin again.
Parents joined in wholeheartedly, listening deeply, praying together and engaging in thoughtful conversation. The sense of community and shared faith made it a meaningful and grace filled gathering for all involved.
Project Compassion 2026
This year we have two ways that families may like to support Caritas Lenten fundraising. At our walk for water we will invite students to bring a gold coin to donate. Additionally we have some of the project compassion boxes that you might like to have at home to share your spare change. Please ask your child to go to the admin office and collect one.
Walk for Water is coming to our school.
In partnership with Caritas, students will be invited to take part in a Walk for Water fundraiser to learn about global water inequality and to stand in solidarity with communities who walk long distances each day to access clean water.
This experience helps students connect faith with action and understand how small acts can make a real difference.
Our learning and fundraising will culminate on Friday 27th March. Watch this space for more details.
