Support the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal
As the winter chill sets in, let's come together to help those in need. On Wednesday Week 8, 18th June, join us for Wednesday Winter Woolies—wear your coziest winter clothes and bring a warm item to donate. Coats, scarves, gloves, blankets, and jumpers are all welcome! If you’re unable to bring a donation, a financial contribution will be just as appreciated.
Then, on Thursday Week 10, 3rd July, warm up with Hot Chocolate Day! Before school, enjoy a delicious hot chocolate for a gold coin donation, with all proceeds going toward the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal.
Let’s make a difference—every small act of kindness keeps someone warm this winter.
The Ascension of the Lord Solemnity Luke 24: 46-53
The two men in white who challenge the disciples are the same ones who in Luke’s version of the women at the tomb of Jesus say: ‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive?’ Today’s feast is in one way also about our mission, sent as we are like them, clothed with the promised gift of the Spirit. Jesus is among us inviting us to spread his message of reconciliation and forgiveness, especially to those closest to us - family, friends, workmates and colleagues. We will always find him in the mix and muddle of daily life. Is this why those disciples were so full of joy when they returned to Jerusalem even though their friend and teacher was no longer physically with them? May their joy be infectious as we celebrate today’s feast and continue to seek the living but often unrecognisable risen Lord Jesus.
It is this gift of wisdom, with perception and knowledge, that Paul wishes upon the community at Ephesus. The power given to believers becomes a potent force in and through them and us, and will help us to discover how we can be effective witnesses to the saving power of mercy and forgiveness through Christ.
