Week 3 - Sunday's Gospel John 21:1-19

"Jesus stepped forward, took the bread and gave it to them, and the same with the fish. Simon Peter was called to love Jesus and Feed his Lambs."

 

In this Gospel passage, we reflect on the powerful moment when the risen Jesus appeared to his disciples. Just as he had done at the Last Supper, Jesus shared food with them, reminding them of his deep love and his call to serve others.

When Jesus asked Simon Peter to "feed my lambs," he was calling him—and us—to live out that love in our daily lives. The words Jesus spoke at the Last Supper, “Do this in memory of me,” were not only a gift to his disciples but a lasting invitation to all of us to follow his example of service, compassion, and faith. In recognising Jesus through this simple act of sharing, the disciples also recognised the promise of eternal life.

Year 3 and 4 Eucharist Reflection/Retreat day

We couldn't have been more pleased with our Eucharist retreat day last week. Our students engaged in many meaningful activities such as breadmaking throughout the day.

Today is the last day to complete our ECSI surveys. Many thanks to our parents who were able to take the time to complete these for us.
