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.
Holy Week Liturgies:
Thank you to the teachers and children for preparing our Holy Week liturgies at the end of last term – and the beginning of this term.
The children are to be commended for the respectful way they have either led liturgies for the whole school, or sat quietly during these sacred times.
We thank parents/grandparents who have been able to attend as well.

School-Led Liturgies:
There are many jobs to be covered during Mass when we are rostered on, 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.

Thank-you to all families for your generous support of Caritas and Project Compassion throughout Term One.
