Social Justice Sunday   

Social Justice Sunday was last Sunday and this day seeks to raise awareness about social justice issues and encourage individuals to take action in promoting fairness, equality, and human rights. Here is the Social Justice Statement for 2023-2024:

 

A prayer for Social Justice

Jesus, you invite us all into the fullness of life. May we support one another to flourish in body, mind and spirit. Strengthen our commitment to ensure that nobody falls through gaps in our systems of care.  Help us to recognise you in those who suffer mental ill-health today.  Show us how to eliminate stigmatisation of mental ill-health from our parishes, schools, communities and organisations.  You drew near to those who were suffering in body or mind.  

May we too feel your nearness when we struggle with mental health challenges.  

May we be one as members of Your Body.  

You invite us to share in your ministry of love and true compassion.  

May we be empowered by your Spirit to reach out to all people in need.  

May we build communities of welcome and inclusion. 

Amen 

Month of Creation- September 2023

September is the month of creation. We will be creating a display in the Quadrangle. We ask students to bring an element of creation to be added to this display (leaves, branches etc) OR to use some recycling to create some animals, plants or other items seen in nature to add to the display.
