Have you ever considered having your child Baptised?

If your child is not Baptised and you have been considering this or you would like to find out more about the process, please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the leadership team via the school office for a chat, we would love to hear from you.

Scripture

This fortnight our scripture passage is that of ‘The Widow's Offering’ from the Gospel of Mark. In this passage the widow gives all that she can in the hope that she will be able to help others. She was a person of compassion who gave all that she could. In this Lenten season we are encouraged to also give what we can. It does not have to be in the form of money but could be in compassion.

Mark 12: 41-44 The Widow’s Offering

41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.

43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

Reconciliation

Last week, many of our Year Three students began their journey towards making the sacrement of Reconciliation.  We keep these students in our prayers as they prepare and learn the importance of knwoing that God’s love is always there for us.

Project Compassion Cake Stall

Over the weekend, four Year Five students with an important mission gathered together to bake sweets to sell at Charles Harper Park. The call to action was to raise money for Project Compassion and their actions embodied the Catholic Values of Hope, Justice, Integrity and Compassion. Congratulations to Isabel, Indi, Evelyn and Grace along with their helpers Mikaela and Hannah who raised a huge $264. Holy Cross is ever so proud of this achievement.
