Parish Update

Last night I attended the Parish Pastoral Council held at St John's in Kippax. We are being tasked with discerning a list of names for the parish to select from. After lots of reading and discussion we have a short list.  Please keep an eye out in the Parish Bulletin for ways you can contribute.

Catholic Life and Reflection

Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart. It is just about our favourite day of the year.  We celebrate our deep connection with the MSC’s in a few ways.  We wear red, we donate money to Global School Partners and we go to Mass as a school.  

This year we were invited to the Parish Mass at 11am that is held at the church.  To be honest, I was a little nervous, we have not done it before.  I should not have worried, the students were exceptional.  From the Year 6 leaders who read the prayers of the faithful to the buddies who sat with the younger students to help them engage.  As a community we are so proud of them all.

I had several parishioners come up to me afterwards to say how well behaved our students were. I think that is a wonderful indicator of the respect and reverence the students showed.

Right now, I can hear the screams as the students are watching the teachers versus Year 6 netball game.  Days like today show students how to live a good life.

Eat well (tick), receive the Eucharist (tick), play hard (tick), be on earth the heart of God, (tick)
