Education in Faith
Caritas Fridays!
We are in Week 3 of our Caritas Fridays. What an incredible effort made by our students, staff and families raising a total of $1,125.90 so far! Thank you to everyone who has donated towards Project Compassion.
Tomorrow, we are encouraging students to come dressed as a community helper. Don’t forget your gold coin donation!
This week, we are focussing on Participation; People and groups have the right to participate in decisions that affect them. Everyone should be able to work and use the talents God gave them to lead others.
Within the bible there are two scripture stories that highlight the importance of leadership of two characters; Moses and Jesus.
One of the most powerful events in the life of Jesus is when he washes his disciples' feet in John 13. When he finishes, he says to them, ‘You call me teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. If I then, the Lord and teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet’.
Jesus isn't talking about feet. He’s talking about servant leadership. Great leaders focus on serving others.
This week we make connections to Jesus as a Leader to Memory’s Story.
Memory has shown she is a great leader. She worked hard to make her dream of going to college come true; she has proved that women can become carpenters too; she is a good role model for her sisters and brothers; and she hopes to help her whole community in the future by opening her own workshop so she can give others a job too.
Reconciliation
In preparation for receiving a sacrament, families are asked to attend Mass. At this Mass, your child will be acknowledged and the parishioners will be asked to pray for them as they take this next step in the faith journey.
Masses for our Sacramental candidates begin on Saturday 16th March. Your child is encouraged to attend two of the following Parish Masses. Information will be sent home to families this afternoon.
