NAIDOC Week Prayer
Great Spirit, Creator of all,
From the stars to all the earth,
Loved and respected be your name,
May it happen that all should live your way,
Following your purpose for all creation.
Enable us to find what we need for today’s journey.
Forgive us when we go wrong
As we forgive those who wrong us.
Have compassion on us when we are being tested,
Do not abandon us to fear and evil.
Our hope is in your new community.
You are the one who can transform all creation making,
Making everything new, now and for all eternity.
Amen.
Genevieve Bryant Visit
by Lauren Donnelly
On Tuesday 27 June, singer-songwriter Genevieve Bryant visited Year 5-10. Genevieve performed a concert, promoting the Bishop’s Australian Catholic Youth Festival 7-9 December. Genevieve Bryant is an artist from Melbourne, Australia and has been heavily involved in music in many forms, not only as a songwriter and recording artist, but heavily as a teacher and behind the scene in events as business owner of Concert Creations. Genevieve also has a passion for Youth Ministry and Music Ministry and has spent many years working with numerous ministry groups, across all ages, abilities and visions, hoping to share her gift with others and strengthen their faith. All the students greatly enjoyed her concert.
