Advent

Last Sunday marked the beginning of Advent- a period of preparation extending over the four Sundays before Christmas. The word Advent comes from the Latin advenio, ‘to come to’, and refers to the coming of Christ. We typically regard Advent as a joyous season, it is also a period of preparation much like Lent, with prayer and penance. May this Advent be a time of spiritual awakening and renewal for you as you prepare to celebrate the birth of the Savior of the World. 

Christmas Card Project

We have been asked to assist with the Christmas Card Project, which is being run by Sister Myree Harris and the Gethsemane Community. The community provides the security and stability of a home to people who have nowhere to belong and be accepted.

As part of the Christmas Project, nearly 1000 people who are part of this community, will receive 7 personalised Christmas cards each. These cards are the only personal mail these people receive all year and will make some lonely isolated people happy this Christmas.

We would appreciate if each student could please bring in a standard sized Christmas Card with a stamp on the envelope. In class students will write a general message of best wishes. The cards will then be sent to the Gethsemane Community.
