Hello! And we are half way through the year.. wow.
I thought I’d finish of this term with a few notices for next term. We have already confirmed our three masses for next term, August 5, August 26 and September 16. All masses are at 9:15am and you are all very welcome to attend. We will also be looking at running some information sessions on the mass for those of you who wish to know or understand a bit more about it. If you are interested in this, can you please let me know what time/day would suit and I will organise around what works for most.
Every so often I get the chance to head into the classrooms and spend some time with the students discussing the RE that they are learning. This is always a precious and loved time for me. I am always amazed at the questions I get, the wonderings they have, the simple joy they show. I am learning quickly what Jesus meant when he said, ‘And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them, and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”’ (Matthew 18:2-4). These kids show such humility in their search for answers and truth. They don’t let fear or preconceived ideas get in the way of their endeavour to know what is good, true, and beautiful. They are seeking Him who is truth and that is beautiful to witness, “Anyone who seeks truth, seeks God, whether or not he realises it” St Edith Stein.
Have a beautiful break from the hustle and bustle of school life. I hope you have time as a family to recoup and rest and I look forward to seeing you all in Term 3.
God Bless,
Miriam
