The Scriptures are an integral part of our Catholic faith. Not only do we learn of the person of Jesus in the New Testament but we also see examples of Catholic Values. One Catholic value that we focus on at Holy Cross is the value of Justice.

In Sunday’s Gospel during this, the fifth week of Easter, we heard about Jesus great love for his people in the following words from the Gospel of John,

“Jesus said to his disciples:

‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit 
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are pruned already,
by means of the word that I have spoken to you.
Make your home in me, as I make mine in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
but must remain part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him.”

John 15: 1-6

As we rejoice in the risen Lord this Easter season (which ends on Pentecost Sunday 19 May). Let us remember the interconnectedness of our community of faith.

ANZAC DAY DAWN SERVICE

On Thursday, at the community Dawn Service at Charles Harper Park our students represented Holy Cross and laid a wreath. A special congratulations goes to Jake Bugby who received the ANZAC School award. We are so very proud of Jake and the huge contribution he makes to so many of our extra curricular activities as well as being a true model of servant leadership here at Holy Cross. Thank you also to the parents and friends who were able to join us for our school prayer service for ANZAC day on Wednesday afternoon.
