Catholic Life & Reflection
I came across this in my searching for remote learning activities. I was struck by its simplicity and its connection to the scriptures we are looking at this year. There have been many occasions when “I AM” has jumped out at me from scripture or other places. It’s quite an empowering statement.
In this reflection, the focus is a little different and I love God’s response. Very simple, very clear, God is everything and we are His. We don’t have to be everything (a timely reminder perhaps?), we just need to love God and remember his commandant. "Love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12
Religious Life at St John the Apostle
As we restart our time together Clare, our Youth Minister, will be visiting each class. She will reconnect our children to their class "I Am" statement. Clare will use songs and fun activities. She will begin with Kinder to Year Two on Thursday and Friday next week.
What are we learning about?
May is a traditional month to celebrate all we know and love about the Mother of our Lord. Year 4 have been learning about the important role of Mary. The learning goal was to know and undertand the role of Mary in the Christmas Story, which of course begins a long time before the birth of our Lord on the Feast of the Annunciation. They have created beautiful portraits of Mary which you can see below. Well done Year 4!
