The donation baskets will be in each Learning Community until Friday 11th August. The items donated will be collected by the local St Vincent de Paul representative who will ensure the food is distributed to people in need in the local community. Please check that the cans and packets of food are not past the use by date.
In supporting this cause we are living out the Catholic Social Teachings of Human Dignity and Preferential Option for the Poor.
A Prayer for Human Dignity
O God,
give us your gifts so that we may live and work
according to your vision for humanity,
a vision where all are treated
with respect and love
because of their great worth in your eyes.
May we answer your call
to treat all as we ourselves wish to be treated and to promote the healing of all persons, especially those who are most vulnerable. Amen.
Thank you for your support!
