Religious Education

Week 9 Prayer

Seek the Lord where he may be found.

John 12: 24‘Now the hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you most solemnly, ules a wheat grain falls on the ground and dies, it remains only a single grain; but if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.’

By dying to our selfishness and focusing on loving others, we experience the fullness of life in Christ Jesus.

May we be open to the welcome of Jesus. Come, Lord Jesus May we be open to the hospitality of Jesus. Come, Lord Jesus. May we be open to the friendship of Jesus. Come, Lord Jesus. May we be open to the healing of Jesus. Come, Lord Jesus. May we be open to the love of Jesus. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Baptism & Reconciliation

We wish the students below a wonderful faith filled journey as they begin preparation for their Reconciliation and/or Baptism.
