Spiritual Connections

Loving God,

We lift our hearts to You.

Behold, you make echoes in our hearts:

“I make all things new!”

Renew our lives, cleans our spirits, and guide us with Your love.

In Your loving transformation, may we find strength, hope, and everlasting joy.

Amen.

Sacramental Program

Our Sacramental Program is currently taking place and the children are busy preparing for making their First Reconciliation on Wednesday, 20th March.

This is a very special time for the children and their families, as well as our school and parish communities. Please keep the following children in your prayers during this time: 

Congratulations to Jackson Shearer, who was welcomed into the Sacred Heart Catholic Community at Mass on the weekend. We know that this was a very special time for him and his family.

Our next School-led Parish Mass is on Sunday 24th March at 10:30am in the church. All families are invited to join us in celebrating liturgy with our Parish Community. There are many jobs to be covered during Mass, such as readings or bringing up the gifts at offertory time. If families would like to help with these, could you please email me at school and I will arrange for this. Our involvement in weekend liturgies is a great way of connecting with our parish community.

The theme for Project Compassion this year is – For All Future Generations.  

Throughout Lent, we will be raising money to donate to Project Compassion to support families in need, and to build a future for generations to come. 

Each classroom has a Project Compassion Box where children can donate money. At last week’s assembly, members of the Social Justice Leadership Team launched our school’s fundraising effort for this year. They suggested some ways children/families could donate if they wish:

• Children might ask Mum or Dad if they have any spare coins around home or in the car that can be placed in our Project Compassion box.

• Children might like to donate a part of their pocket money to project compassion.
• Children might offer to do some extra jobs around home to earn some money that can be donated.
• Every little bit helps!!

As the weather is still warm, we are going to sell Zooper Doopers on Thursdays during Lent to raise money for Project Compassion. Zooper Doopers will be on sale at the start second break for $1.00 each.
