St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal
The annual St Vincent de Paul Winter appeal has begun. This year we will be supporting around 30 people in our local community who are doing it tough this winter. Please see the below information about suggested items to donate.
Celebrating Mary - Miraculous Medals
This afternoon we celebrated Mary with a special Liturgy. Last month, May, was the month of Mary & on June 8th is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Each student has been given a miraculous medal. These have been donated by Doreen Morris & Our Lady Bettles Group Team.
The Miraculous Medal, also known as the Medal of Our Lady of Graces, is a devotional medal in the Catholic Church that traces its origins to the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Saint Catherine Labouré in 1830. The medal is believed to offer special graces to those who wear it with faith and devotion.
Gospel Reflection - Sunday 9th June
Gospel Reading
Mark 3:20–35
Whoever does the will of God is brother and sister and mother to me.
Family Connection
Families are places of beginnings. Within our family, we first learn what it means to be part of a community. We share a closeness and experience mutual understanding and support. We learn how to love one another, how to ask for and receive forgiveness, and how to apply all these lessons to the world outside our homes.
As you gather as a family, talk about what makes your family special. Share some of the lessons you have learned together about love, forgiveness, and understanding. Then read today’s Gospel, Mark 3:20–35. Jesus wants us to understand that by doing God’s will, we are part of a bigger family. Choosing to follow Jesus, being his disciple, means we must treat one another with kindness and mercy. We must become a family. Conclude by asking God to bless your family and to help you do God’s will by seeing all his people with the same kind of love and compassion.
Pray together the Lord’s Prayer and the Hail Mary.
