Sunday Gospel Reading:14th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Matthew 11: 25-30 Jesus prays with thanks to God.
In the Sunday Gospel this week, Jesus teaches an important lesson for families: that is from the youngest we can learn the most profound insights about love and God. Parents who are attentive to this reality can learn much from their children even as their children are learning from them. Families who create time and space for encounters with God will enrich the faith of all who share in family life. A prayerful walk along a beach, family gatherings, sharing a meal, celebrating the Sacraments as a family, are all opportunities for precious love encounters.
COVID-19 Winter Appeal- COMFORT PACKS
Our St Joseph's Woodburn students, parents and staff have generously responded to our Mini Vinnies comfort pack initiative. Our school community have donated toiletry items such as soap, hand sanitiser, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sunscreen, face washes, shampoo etc to create comfort packs for the needy in our local community.
Mini Vinnies Presidents Lacie Soward and Breanna Moss were delighted with how many items were donated and sent to school. They spent their lunchtime play assembling the packs. Each Comfort pack contains a special message designed by Breanna Moss.
Mr Paul Muldoon President of the Evans Head St Vincent de Paul has praised our mighty effort and was very appreciative of the impressive number, and the obvious quality of the comfort packs. These will be distributed to needy local people during the coming weeks.
Thank you to all for responding to the needs of others in such a compassionate and generous manner. The spirit of Jesus is certainly alive in our school family.
God Bless you all!
