A simple prayer this week as we place our trust in God to help us when we most need it. 

Lord 

Give me strength in my weakness. 

Give me faith in my fear. 

Give me power in my powerlessness. 

I'm trusting you. 

Amen 

ST VINCENT DE PAUL 

Each year, we as a College make every effort to support St Vincent De Paul in their challenge to help the needy in our community.  The focus for St Vincent De Paul this year is "supporting families”, who they feel are most in need at this time.  We are seeking donations of gift cards, day to day items, tinned food, as well as some traditional Christmas treats.  These could be items that are considered treats at Christmas or staples to fill a pantry.  To streamline your donations, we are asking each class to donate item as listed in the letters sent home last week.     

 
Even the smallest donation will make a huge difference to families doing it tough this Christmas.  Please place your donations under the giving tree in the College Office Foyer or in the box / basket in your child’s classroom by Friday 30 November.  These donations will then be passed on to our local St Vincent de Paul Society at the College Christmas Fair on Sunday 2 December.  

RECONCILIATION 

This week at St Joseph’s Parish, 33 children will take part in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, of these, 28 are from our College.  We pray that these children we come to know God’s loving forgiveness: Cooper, Max, Emmy, Marli, Lexi, Ava, Lucy, Olivia, Lucinda, Louie, Archie, Charli, Catherine, Amor, Arabella, Charlotte, Archie, Josh, Noah, Toby, Emma, Innes, Matt, Luke, Phoenix, Ella, Myles and Tilly.
