Education in Faith
Sunday was Pentecost, which is celebrated fifty days after Easter, and this is the time that we celebrate the birthday of the Church. Jesus promised that he would not leave us orphans so, when he left our world, he breathed his own life into us through the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who lives in us, guides and helps us live the gospel from age to age. We know that the church, because Jesus is the Lord and giver of life and wisdom, will always be guided in the spirit of Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus breathes his own life into us and we become members of God’s family. Think about how you can make time to listen to and speak with the Holy Spirit living in you. In doing this, you will choose the peaceful, kind and forgiving way to live with each other.
St. Michael’s Primary School has a long tradition of supporting our local St. Vincent de Paul Society. Each year we support two collections for St Vinnies: June, for the Mass of the Sacred Heart and December, for the Christmas Appeal.
Due to COVID restrictions, we are unable to attend the Church for the Giving Mass as a whole school community. However we feel that it is important, now more than ever, to support the local community through our donations.
Each child is asked to bring an item of non-perishable food to school by Friday 11th June.
Any support you can offer at this time would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions please speak with your classroom teacher.
Thank you for supporting this worthwhile cause.
