Prayer: Do you want to Fast this Lent?
Fast from hurting words and say kind words,
Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude,
Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope,
Fast from worries and trust in God,
Fast from pressures and be prayerful,
Fast from Bitterness and fill your heart with joy,
Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others,
Fast from grudges and be reconciled,
Fast from words and be silent, so you can listen.
(Pope Francis)
P F Commencement Mass
Last Saturday the P&F Commencement Mass was a beautiful occasion and well attended by families, teachers and our new Parish Priest, Fr Jim McKeon. I thank the P&F organisers and helpers, particularly Braelen Zwart, Andrena Brewer, Rodger Paino, Sarah Gillard, Paul Hunt, Cassie Buono, James Makarewicz, Natasha and James Boswell and Fran and Simon Barnier.
Launch of the College App
We are pleased to launch the St Pius X College Chatswood App.
The App is very much in its infancy as we establish categories and feed in appropriate and up to date information for your easy access.
Below is the Promo Guide that explains how to access the App. We are very interested to hear feedback and ideas which will help improve the efficiency of our College App and communication within our Pius community. Please direct any feedback to admin@stpiusx.nsw.edu.au
We hope you enjoy this easy and efficient means of communication!
