Religious Education
Marylene Douglas
All students attending St Louis de Montfort's Aspendale have the right to feel safe. The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people is a fundamental responsibility of all within our school.
Next Wednesday 19th March, Andrew Chinn, an Australian religious songwriter and singer, will be visiting our school to celebrate 60 years of St Louis', and share his songs with our children. Andrew’s songs, such as “These Hands”, “Rainbow”, “An African Blessing” and “Rise Up!” are used in classrooms and liturgies in many countries around the world including Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada.
The concert will take place in our school hall at 2.15pm. We ask that parents bring along a gold coin donation. These proceeds will be donated to Caritas for Project Compassion.
We hope to see you there so that you can enjoy watching your child perform with Andrew Chinn, singing his songs.
This weekend our Year 4 students will be taking the first formal step in their preparation towards receiving Eucharist for the first time. At the Commitment Masses, these students will be pledging to do their best in this journey, to listen with their ears and their hearts as they learn about Jesus and the gift he gave us at the First Eucharist.
I ask that we all pray for and support these students along their faith journey.
