Prep Prayer in PJs & Family Mass

The Prep cohort and their families took part in the Prayer in PJs Prayer evening on Tuesday at school. Families completed four activities based around the Parable of the Great Banquet. This session was an important step in preparing for the Prep Family Mass this weekend. Thank you to all who could make it and a shout out ot our amazing Prep teachers (Miss Ferrari & Mrs Byrne) for all their hard work and preparation. 

Gospel Reflection - Assumption of Mary

Gospel Reading

Luke 1:39-56

Mary greets Elizabeth and sings God's praise.

Family Connection

In today's Gospel, Elizabeth and Mary recognize the work that God is doing through them. With eyes of faith they see the power and salvation of God breaking through into their lives and into the world.

Gather as a family and talk about what you know about Mary and her being a model of faith. Recall that we are celebrating a holy day, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On this day we remember that God took Mary to heaven, body and soul. Read together today's Gospel, Luke 1:39-56. In this reading we hear Mary's song of praise to God, the Magnificat. Invite each person in the family to write or draw one or more ways in which they see God working in your family life and in our world today. Use these prayers of thanksgiving to create your family's song of praise to God. 

Conclude by praying together this song of praise.
