Religious Education Week 2 Prayer Fill our minds that we may hear your wisdom. (Matthew 22: 1 - 4, 14) Jesus responded by telling still more stories. “God’s kingdom,” he said, “is like a king who threw a wedding banquet for his son. He sent out servants to call in all the invited guests. And they wouldn’t come! He sent out another round of servants, instructing them to tell the guests, ‘Look, everything is on the table, the prime rib is ready for carving. Come to the feast!’ ... That’s what I mean when I say, ‘Many are invited; only a few make it”. CASSEROLE BANK: Our casserole bank helps out families at times of need. If you are able to assist with this bank, can you please email lfrewen@sjeuroa.catholic.edu.au or alternatively leave a message at the office to have your name put on the list. We will then contact you when needed, to provide us with a meal that is able to be frozen such as lasagne, pasta bakes, bolognaise etc. Click on the Sandpiper Logo To view the latest publication Congratulations to the four students who have their art entered in the MacKillop Art Exhibition. This exhibition comes from all the Catholic primary and secondary schools in our diocese. Ms Watson made a shortlist of art works she thought were the best across the school (noting that there hasn't been as much produced at school this year due to COVID) and Mrs Hamilton chose the best ones from that shortlist. Well done to Shaely Baldo, Jackson Walker, Grace Eddy and Tully Watson for their entries and well done to all of our students for the great art works they have completed, both in and out of the classroom. Here are the entries we are sending. This year the exhibition will be online and we will post the link when we get more information. LUNCH ORDERS WEDNESDAYS!
