Prayer

You are my God, and I confess you;

you are my God, and I exalt you;

I will thank you, for you became my saviour.

Saint Thomas the Apostle, you became a faithful follower of Jesus. Though you struggled with an occasion of doubt, that struggle transformed you into a new man. Please pray for me, that every struggle and weakness I have will be eliminated and transformed so that God can use me to fulfill His holy and perfect will. Saint Thomas the Apostle, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.

The bustling end of term two has been an engaging one for many of our students. The two groups of Alpha Youth, (Year 8 and Year 10 who meet once a week), have represented our College at a Presentation schools zoom meet. There were nine schools from across NSW. They took second place in our final overall competition and proudly showed what our school is all about when it comes to living out the Charism of Venerable Nano Nagle. These same students were also involved in launching our College Values by explaining how the value of Faith is lived out in our school. We had Bishop Mark and Fr Sean Byrnes here on the 2nd of July to celebrate our college Mass and farewell Chris Browne. The Student Representatives SRC assisted during Mass and the awards. I commend these students for their care, dedication and reverence they have shown during our whole school celebrations.

Fr John Baptist from the Cathedral parish continues to offer our staff and students Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every Friday lunchtime in the Mt Erin Chapel. We have finished the term with the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal. All our donations of warm winter clothing, blankets and non-perishable food items will be shared with our community through the work of Vinnies in the next few weeks. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff and students who support the Catholic mission of our College, for their generosity and wish them all a safe holiday, to those staff who continue to work in our college over the holidays, enjoy the quiet time while we are away.
