October: Mission Month

October is Mission Month, a special time for us to reflect on how we can make a positive difference in the lives of others. It reminds us that even small acts of kindness, generosity and compassion can have a big impact on people in our local community and around the world.

Throughout this month, we encourage our students to think of others, show care for those in need, and look for ways to put our faith into action through service and kindness. Together, we can help make our world a more hopeful and caring place.

This year is particularly significant as we celebrate 100 years of World Mission Sunday, which falls on Sunday, 18 October.

Pope Leo XIV has chosen the theme “One in Christ, United in Mission”, reminding us that although we come from different cultures, communities and backgrounds, we are united in Christ and called to share His love with the world.

In his message, Pope Leo reminds us that mission is something we are all called to participate in. Each of us has unique gifts to share, and even the smallest acts of kindness, generosity and compassion can make a difference.

He encourages us to recognise that mission is, above all, an act of love ~ a love that calls us to care for others, build relationships, seek justice and stand alongside those most in need.

Last term, our Seasons of Creation stalls raised a wonderful $420.80, which was donated to Catholic Mission. The donation was gratefully received by Rachel Prince on behalf of Catholic Mission. We are incredibly proud of our students for their generosity, creativity and commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others.

During Term 3, our senior students explored the importance of Catholic Mission through their Religious Education unit, Living Our Mission. Throughout this unit, students learnt that we are all called to live out Jesus’ mission by showing kindness, compassion and care for others.

As part of their learning, students were invited to reflect on their own personal mission in life and how they can use their gifts and talents to make the world a better place.

Below are some beautiful examples of our students’ personal mission statements, reflecting their understanding of what it means to live out their faith through words and actions.
