From the Religious
Co-Ordinator
On Friday the 13th August at 10:15 am, Everyone is warmly invited to attend our Zoom Prayer Service dedicated to the Feast of the Assumption of Mary.
During our Zoom Prayer Service, we will stop, reflect and pray upon Mary’s graceful transition from earth to heaven. Mary's faith enabled her to recognize the work of God in her people's history and in her own life. Her openness to God allowed God to work through her so that salvation might come to all. Mary is a model and symbol of the Church. May we be like Mary, open and cooperative in God's plan of salvation.
The Year 6 RE Test will be on Wednesday 6th October (Term 4 Week 1).
