Week 3 Advent.

Today in our assembly we lit the pink candle which represents the joy that Jesus brings to us.

Joy is the gift we all receive from the unconditional love Christ has for us.

Loving God,

We thank you for the joy you bring us.

Help us prepare our hearts for the Lord's coming by helping us see that Christ came for every person we meet wherever we go.

We ask this in the name of the one born in Bethlehem, Jesus our Lord.

Amen.

Dear Parents,

Thank you for another fabulous year at St. Bernard's.

Today we said farewell to our Grade six students who leave us for secondary school, we look forward to a new class of grade six students stepping up to lead our school to great things in 2024.

We thank all of our students for being who they are, the unique gifts that God created!

We thank our dedicated and committed staff who work tirelessly to provide the best Catholic Education for the children in our care.

We thank you, our parents, for your support and partnership in entrusting our school to educate your children, and we look forward to working with our new staff and families in 2024.

We thank Father Nathan and Monsignor Cris for supporting us and leading us in the ministry of nurturing the faith development of our children.
