Sunday Gospel Reading: 13th Sunday in Ordinary time

Matthew 10: 37-42
Jesus outlines the costs and rewards of discipleship

The Gospel this weekend reminds us that when confronted with difficulty in our lives we must choose to act in ways that show that we are disciples of Jesus. Forgiveness, kindness and courage heal relationships rather than undermine them.

Mini Vinnies COVID-19 Winter Appeal-  COMFORT PACKS

Each year, Vinnies provides shelter, food, clothing, financial support, friendship and care for tens of thousands of people in NSW. Since the coronavirus outbreak, their volunteers and staff have worked tirelessly and creatively to keep their doors open at a time of increasing need. Now, more than ever is the time for us to come together to support those experiencing hardship. By supporting the Vinnies COVID-19 Winter Appeal, it will make a difference for people whose lives have been turned upside down. Students, teachers and parents can contribute in several ways: by raising money, donating material goods, or by performing simple acts of kindness.

Our Mini Vinnies are collecting toiletry items such as soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sunscreen, face washes, shampoo etc to create comfort packs for the needy in our community. Donations of items for our comfort packs will be welcome.

Thank you for the contributions already sent to school. We appreciate your generosity!

Could all donations for the comfort packs please be sent to school before Thursday 2nd July.
