Saints Simon and Jude: 

A Message of Hope and Enthusiasm

On Wednesday our Year 6 Bethlehem Community beautifully led our parish Mass, celebrating the feast of Saints Simon and Jude, two of Jesus’ Apostles. Our Year 4 Jericho Community joined us, along with parishioners and families, for this special celebration.

Father James shared a lovely message about these two saints and what they can teach us today.

St Jude is the saint to turn to when we feel we have lost a little hope. 

Known as the patron saint of hopeless causes, he reminds us that even when things seem difficult, we can hold on to faith and trust that hope is never truly lost.

St Simon the Zealot was full of zeal, passion and enthusiasm. 

He reminds us to bring energy and commitment to the things we believe in and to live our faith through our actions.

What wonderful messages for our children and for all of us! When life feels challenging, hold on to hope, and when something matters, approach it with enthusiasm and courage.

Thank you to our Bethlehem Community for leading today's Mass so reverently, to Jericho for their participation, and to Father and our parish community for continuing to share these special moments of faith with us.

I snapped these amazing posters in the church window! Fundraisers with the emphasis on FUN!
