Religious Education News Term 1 Week 5

 Project Compassion

 At our Centred in Faith Gathering last Friday Year Two spoke to us about the Liturgical Season of Lent. They explained to us that Lent is about prayer, fasting and almsgiving. As a community one form of almsgiving at St Thomas More’s that we participate in is raising money for Project Compassion. Spanning across the six weeks of Lent each year, Project Compassion brings thousands of Australian schools, parishes and supporters together to raise funds for people living in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world. Year Two gave each family at St Thomas More’s a Project Compassion box on Friday. Please contact me if your family’s Project Compassion box did not make it home.

 Sacrament of First Reconciliation

 The celebration of the Sacrament will take place on Saturday 18 March at 11:30am in St Thomas More Church, Campbell.

 Parish Mass

 This Friday 3rd March 5/6 White and Kindergarten will attend the 10:00am Parish Mass. You are most welcome to join us if your children are in these classes.

Centred In Faith Gathering

 3/4 White will run our Centred in Faith Gathering on Friday 10th March. Our Scripture Focus for this year is the ‘Armour of God’ from Ephesians 6:10-18. The students will speak to us about what the Belt of Truth represents.

Yours in Christ,
