Prayer and Reflection
Christmas Prayer
When the song of the angels is stilled,
when the star in the sky is gone,
when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with their flock,
the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost
to heal the broken
to feed the hungry
to release the prisoners
to rebuild the nations
to bring peace among brothers and sisters
to make music in the heart.
Amen.
Our Lady of the Rosary. Pray for us.
St Dominic. Pray for us.
Blessed Edmund Rice. Pray for us.
Vinnies
It is with great pleasure to announce in this newsletter the St Agnes Vinnies leaders for 2019. They are as follows:
President – Madeline Neville;
Vice President – Peter Iuso;
Secretary – Sara Lui;
Spiritual Advisor – Lyndell Boschma;
Social Coordinator – Stephanie Koukides;
Publicity Officers – James Smith and Josie Chick.
The new leaders have been especially busy and industrious since their election with fundraising activities for the annual St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal. On Wednesday 12 December the students organised a Christmas mufti day which raised $425.00; this plus $145, which came from the sale of Candy Grams and Christmas bon-bons, totalled $570.
The total value of the hamper donations was in excess of $500. These hampers will go to McCarthy families this week.
This January, Campion College opens its doors to bright young students throughout Australia who are looking to explore a Liberal Arts education and dive head-first into a truly unique student experience.

In addition to this snapshot of academic life, students experience Campion hospitality – living on campus, sharing delicious meals and taking part in fun activities.
Campion’s Summer Program provides students with the opportunity to meet academic staff, ask questions and attend lectures in the Liberal Arts. This encourages students to broaden their minds, think critically, argue persuasively and engage with the big questions that line the path to truth.
The Campion Summer Program is open to all young people aged 16-25.
