JUSTICE and SERVICE

Our Catholic school community is called to take up Jesus’ mission to reach out to the less fortunate in our world: the poor, hungry, homeless and sick. On Monday our Year 5 students led us in reflecting on how we can take up this mission through our school values of SERVICE and JUSTICE.

CATHOLIC MISSION

The Lord has told us what is good.

What he requires of us is this:

to do what is just, to show mercy,

and to live humbly with our God. (Micah 6:8)

Pope Francis says:

 “Never think that you have nothing to offer, or that nobody needs you. Many people need you. Think about it! Each of you, think in your heart: many people need me.”

PRAYER –You can join us in praying for the poor and marginalised.

DONATIONS – each classroom has a box for money donations for the poor. Please help us with this if you are able.

WHITE ELEPHANT–Please send any unwanted items (but in reasonable condition) into school. Items may be left on the stage in the School Hall. (Items may include things like: toys, kitchenware, clothes/drawing/sketching materials, books, jewellery etc.)

ODD SOCKS – please send in your odd/old socks for our special mission activity.

SAMARITAN’S PURSE – Many thanks to all those who supported this appeal. The boxes are sure to put a smile on many a disadvantaged child.
