Dear Parents and Caregivers

SALA Celebration

Thank you to all the families who came along to visit our pop-up gallery last week. The art work on display was exceptional. What a wonderful way of coming together as community to share in our children’s work. We look forward to SALA in 2020.

Father’s Day

This Sunday we celebrate the gift of Fathers or those special men in our lives who are like a Father. Thank you for the things you do to support your children. I would like to wish all Fathers and those who have a special role as a father figure in a child’s life a very Happy Father’s Day. 

A Special Prayer for Fathers

God, bless all the fathers in the world.

Guide them to be good role models and loving to all their children.

Help them to be a father like You are.

Give them grace and patience to handle situations in a loving way.

Amen

Tournament of the Mind (TOM) Challenge

On Sunday 8 September students from SJMS will represent our school at the TOM challenge which will be held at Flinders University. The students have been working hard over the past 5 weeks to provide a solution to a challenge. We look forward to seeing their hard work come to fruition on the day.

Child Protection Week

Sunday 8 September at the conclusion of Child Protection Week, we celebrate Child Protection Sunday. Please join the Parish at 10am on the day as we celebrate the precious gift of children. 

Our prayer for Stronger Communities, Safer Children

(From Catholic Religious Australia website)

Gracious God you said

let the children come to me.

Lord, we as your Church stand in

need of your healing and help.

We ask you God to strengthen and

guide all in our Catholic communities.

Grant us wisdom in our

time to make decisions that

protect children and the vulnerable.

May our families and communities,

through love, generosity, commitment and patience

build stronger communities safe for children.

Let your grace and love fall gently upon

our children giving them the inner

strength, peace and resilience they will

need for their life’s journey.

We ask you God to

help our Catholic communities to be

resolute in building a community where

our children both flourish and are safe.

Amen.

Grace Vassallo-Wakefield
