STUDENT OF THE WEEK - CATHOLIC VALUE AWARD

This week our Saint Hero is St Matthew who displayed the value of Obedience.  Next week's Saint Hero will be St Maria Goretti who displayed the value of Mercy. We encourage you to discuss each Saint and their value with your child/ren, helping them to learn how they can live out our Christian values. 

THE MONTH OF MARY

In Catholic tradition, the month of May is dedicated to Mary. Chosen by God above all other women, Mary’s faith and obedience paved the way for the Incarnation. Her example teaches us faith, obedience, humility and most of all, how to love. As St Thomas of Villanova said, “If in this world any creature ever loved God with whole heart, with whole soul, and with whole mind, she was the creature.”

“From Mary we learn to surrender to God’s will in all things.

From Mary we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone.

From Mary we learn to love Christ her Son and the Son of God.”

ST POPE JOHN PAUL II
