Faith

Year 8 Retreat Program

Last week the ninth and final Year 8 Retreat was held in the Function Room. The theme of this year’s retreat was “Making Courageous Lasallian Decisions”. Each student had the opportunity to deepen their experience of Faith, Service & Community and their understanding of the journey of St John Baptist de La Salle and those who follow in his footsteps. The program was facilitated by our Lasallian Youth Ministers – Matt, Josh and Matt – and assisted by LYLs from Years 10 and 11: thank you to each of them and to the Year 8 R.E. teachers. Each retreat surfaced Rock Stars, Jockeys Up Champions and some interesting #hashtags that communicated what our Founder may have tagged if he were alive today:

November

Remembrance Month and the St Bede’s College Perpetual Memorial Book

In a very special way the month of November is dedicated to the memory of our deceased family members and friends, and all who have gone before us. 

Beginning with All Saints Day and All Souls Day, and continuing throughout the month, we hold in prayer those who have died.

To mark the special way that the Catholic tradition responds to death, St Bede’s College has a Perpetual Memorial Book that will be kept in the Chapel as an invitation to others to join you in praying for your deceased relatives and friends. 

Please forward the name/s of any family member or friend to Ria Greene (rgg@stbedes.catholic.edu.au ) that you would like to have added to the book.

These names will be especially prayed for at each RE Class Mass throughout November.

Please note – if you have added names before then there is no need to submit them again as it is a Perpetual Book.

Live Jesus in our hearts!
