Religious Life of St Joseph’s

 Last Thursday we celebrated the Feast of St Joseph in classrooms. Together we spent time unpacking our focus scripture ‘The Greatest Commandment’ (Matthew 22:34-40) through Drama and Visual and Media Arts. The key message of ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’ rings loud and clear in our local and global community. As a part of our Feast Day activities the children created an artwork to illustrate our focus ‘Be God’s Love.’ These artworks of all the children are on display in the corridor. A competition was held on Friday where the community voted to select the best 7 artworks to be displayed in the frames outside the Library. Congratulations to these children on their winning artworks.

Saint Mary Mackillop was known to say that ‘Prayer is our greatest weapon.’ During this time of uncertainty, it can be a challenge to have faith that God is hearing our own prayers. To keep us encouraged during this time I invite you to follow Pope Francis on Twitter. Our prayers are being heard.
