Food Drive - Thank You!

Thank you very much to all the families who so generously donated food items to our St Vincent de Paul Food Drive over the past few weeks. 

At the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Mass last Friday, Mrs Gail Pearson from St Vincent de Paul, gratefully accepted our donation of food and assured us that there are many people, in the local community,  who will benefit greatly from our school community's generosity.

Our parish priest, Fr Werner,  has placed a basket in the church foyer that will be available for anyone who wishes to donate food items regularly. If the church is not open you can deliver the items to the school and our Social Justice Leaders will place the items in the basket each week.

Prayer To St Vincent de Paul 

Noble Saint Vincent de Paul,

beloved servant of the poor, 

may we follow your example and do good works

among those whom society has 

abandoned, enslaved, or forgotten.

Inspire us to feed the hungry, to love a child,

 to provide comfort and medicine to the sick, 

to clothe those whose garments are threadbare,  and to offer hope

and our Lord’s words 

to all who need respite.

Pray for us to our beloved God

that we may commit ourselves selflessly

to doing the same charitable acts

that you did all your life, and intercede with him 

that we may have the favour of his guidance

and strength and love upon this important and meaningful work. 

Amen.
