RE Week 7 - Be still and know that I am God

This week we focused on the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). We learn that God wants to be close to us.  He knows that we sometimes make decisions that take us away from His love.  When we turn back to Him, he runs to us and fills our hearts with His love. Sometimes we judge the actions of others.  We forget all the gifts we have and we focus on life as fair or unfair.  At these times God challenges us to open our hearts and forgive like He does. God just wants us to love Him and to love each other. This takes great courage.

Reconciliation Retreat Day

Year 3 students had their Reconciliation Retreat Day on Friday the 20th of November. The students had a great day attending morning mass with the parish and completing activities about forgiveness and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We look forward to celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation next Wednesday and keep these students in our prayers.
