Religious Life of St Joseph’s
Welcome back to 2020. This year our Christ-Centred Community focus is ‘Be God’s Love’. This morning we introduced our focus to our students with our first Prayer
Prayer and Worship
Student Led Christian Prayer
Each Friday after the first break Year 6 lead classes in prayer. This week we will focus on our Christ-Centred Community Scripture for 2020.
Liturgical Season: Fourth week of Ordinary Time, Year A
Liturgical Season Colour: Green
This week the focus is on the Gospel: Matthew 22:34-40
When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
At home we invite you to sing our focus song for 2020, “Be God’s” by Danielle Rose and discuss how we can Be God’s Love. You can view a version with the lyrics at:

Religious Identity and Culture
Ethos and Charism
Our strategic priority to deepen our St Joseph’s identity means to deepen our understanding of our Josephite Charism. We can learn much about our Josephite Charism through quotes from Saint Mary Mackillop.
