RELIGIOUS EDUCATION 

This coming Sunday we celebrate the mystery of faith and unity of the Holy Trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Trinity Sunday marks the 50th day after Easter and the first Sunday after Pentecost Sunday. The day honours the descent of the Holy Spirit on Jesus’ apostles and followers of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. It breathes God’s love and life into creation and inspires and supports our community through periods of growth and challenge.

Last week we were given the opportunity to celebrate Reconciliation Week with an inspirational Aboriginal Elder, Dr Miriam Rose Ungunmerr Baumann AM and four young Aboringinal children and teenagers from Nauiyu Community, NT. The theme this year is ‘Be Brave, Make Change’ and our visitors invited us to walk in two worlds. Last year,  Pope Francis stated “Jesus walks beside us on the road through life”. So, as we move forward may we accept the challenges that lay ahead for the sake of our national growth towards reconciliation.

A reflection written by a Year 4 student: 

‘We learnt that we need to respect nature and all Australians. Community is what brings us together. Miraim reminded us that we need to Listen to each other and we need to be cautious but brave and remember that ALL people matter’.
