All Saints' Day

This morning, we were joined by Deacon Peter for a Liturgy of the Word for All Saints' Day. To celebrate and raise awareness of All Saints' Day staff dressed as their favourite saint and shared some facts about their saint.

From Left to right - Saint Raphael, St Gabriel the messenger, St Michael, and Joan of Arc.

Today, we rejoice in the holy men and women of every time and place. May their prayers bring us your forgiveness and love.

May we all be reminded that each of us is called to be a saint.

Amen

Grandparents' Day Blessing

May you be showered with joy, love, and peace as you celebrate life with your children and grandchildren.

May you be inspired by St Joachim and St Anne, the faithful parents of Mary and grandparents of Jesus.

May you always know how much you are loved and how much you impact your loved ones.

May you take a moment today to step back and acknowledge the legacy you have created as you gaze upon your children and grandchildren.  May you inhale in the miracle and beauty of your life.

Amen

Thank you to the grandparents who joined us on Monday for a picnic and those who purchased jam drops from the Prep stall.
