A Mother's Day Blessing!
God of Sarah, Ruth and Rebecca;
of Elizabeth, mother of John;
of Mary, mother of Jesus: listen to our prayer:
Bless all women and those who bring new life in any way,
these women who teach and guide, who encourage and heal.
Invite them to the table of your eternal feast,
these ‘women who feed and nurture the life that has been entrusted to them.
Embrace them warmly in the intimacy of your love,
these women who embrace with affection those who are helpless and dependent.
Bless them today with all good things:
with health, with laughter, with joy and with love,
with pride in their children and the support of many friends.
May all women who have nurtured life in others be themselves nurtured one day
in your strong embrace, there, for all eternity,
to rejoice with their families and friends.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.
Happy Mother's Day and God's blessing to all of the Mums, Grandmas, Aunties and other special women in the lives of our students!

School Masses
Today we were able to come together as a school community to celebrate our first Whole School Mass for 2023. As we journey through this lenten season, the theme of our Mass was 'The Light of Christ' which illuminates our path during this time of reflection. Thank you to all of those from our school community - parents, grandparents and friends - who joined us for this Mass.
This year, we are very fortunate to be able to celebrate a whole school Mass each term, as well as some smaller Masses in Terms 3 and 4. All Masses will be celebrated in the Sports Centre. Parents and families are invited to these celebrations and we hope to see as many of you as possible attend!
Here are the dates and times of our Masses for 2023:
Term 2, Week 6: Whole School Mass, Friday 2nd June at 2pm
Term 3, Week 6: LC1 and LC2 Mass, Friday 18th August at 2pm
Term 3, Week 8: Feast Day Whole School Mass, Friday 1st September at 10am
