Making Jesus Real 2022
This fortnight our focus is on being friendly.
A big part of our Making Jesus Real program is about FRIENDSHIP. Friends are one of life’s greatest treasures. How fortunate we are to maintain friendships that we have made over the years. Right through life we meet people who become friends – people who will help you on your journey through life.
One of our MJR activities is to reflect on what makes a good friend. If you are a positive person – show interest, kindness, being helpful, friendly and tolerant – people will show that back if you are a GIVER. Some people are TAKERS in friendship. They are only in it for themselves. They give little of themselves and they are demanding of others.
ASH WEDNESDAY PRAYER SERVICES
Apologies for the mix up on the term planner for the date of Ash Wednesday this year.
Ash Wednesday is on the 2nd March.
Due to the ongoing Covid situation, Fr Joseph will bless the ashes on Tuesday 1st March for us and the children will receive their ashes in a classroom prayer service on Ash Wednesday.
TONGAN RELIEF APPEAL
Many thanks to the families who have donated to this appeal. If you would like to still donate, please send an envelope to the front office via your child’s classroom.
On behalf of Caritas Australia, thank you for supporting the families of Tonga who are in need.
