Catholic Mission- JUSTICE and SERVICE

We continue to reach out and help others to live life to the full as we try to be…

• JESUS’ FEET – walking with others in the spirit of JUSTICE
• JESUS’ HANDS – offering SERVICE to others

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)

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. At last Friday’s Social Justice workshops Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 students were saddened to hear about the number of people in Australia who are currently living below the poverty line. This includes 1 in 8 children.  They are keen to help right this injustice any way they can.

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 – Please help us with monetary donations if you are able. Each class 

has a ‘mission basket’. Let us all help ‘fill the baskets of those whose are empty’.

WHITE ELEPHANT and LUCKY DIP STALL–Please send in items for these St Mary’s Mission Day Stalls. (Items may include things like: books, toys, kitchenware, clothes/drawing/sketching materials, purses, wallets, handbags, jewellery etc.)

They may be left in the Assistant Principal/REC office.
