Sacrament of First Eucharist & Parish Mass – Thank you
Last Sunday, at the 9:30am Mass, a number of our Year 4 students celebrated their First Eucharist. It was a beautiful celebration of communion for the children and their families. Thank you to Mrs Trish Collis for leading the music, and to the teachers who were able to attend Mass and support the students. Thank you also to the Stage 2 teachers, and the parents who led homegroups in order to effectively prepare the students to receive the sacrament.
Sunday Gospel: The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ – Year C
This week, the second Sunday after Pentecost, we celebrate a second solemnity, which marks our return to Ordinary Time. It is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. At one time, this day was called Corpus Christi, Latin for “the Body of Christ.”
This Sunday’s Gospel - The feeding of the 5,000 - is the only one of Jesus' miracles to appear in all four Gospels, and features obvious Eucharistic overtones. Five loaves and two fish would not have been much of a meal for Jesus and the Twelve, much less the crowd that is said to have gathered on this occasion. Jesus’ actions over the food are brief but significant. He blessed it; he broke it; and he gave it as food.
