May is the month of Mary

The month of May is the month that Catholics have dedicated to Our Blessed Lady, Jesus’ mother, Mary. During this month Christians pray to Mary asking for guidance, love and support. One prayer that is prayed during May is The Rosary. When praying The Rosary, Catholics use special Rosary Beads to help them say their prayers. The Rosary is based upon events that occurred in the lives of Jesus and Mary; both happy and sad. Prayers that are part of the Rosary include the Our Father, The Hail Mary, The Glory Be, The Apostles Creed, Hail Holy Queen and The Fatima Prayer.

Caritas - Project Compassion Boxes

Last term, during Lent, we invited families to contribute what they could to their Caritas Australia Project Compassion boxes. If you still have your box at home, could you please send it to school with your child or drop it off at one of the school officesso that the money can be banked as soon as possible.

We appreciate that this is a very challenging time for many families and are grateful for the generous support our St Edward’s community provides. 

Thank you.
