Earlier this year, the Year 12 students went on Retreat to the Bunya Mountains and at the conclusion of this event, they prepared a prayer celebration together.  This prayer, that they adapted for the occasion, has sat on my desk ever since and so this week I share it with you: 

Dear Lord, 

Help us to have the strength to move forward in the future. 

No matter what happens, may our hearts be in the right place. 

May we look out for each other. 

Grant us harmony in our lives as we journey together. 

Amen  

Youth Mass 

This Saturday is youth led Mass for the St Joseph’s 6pm Mass.  All young people and their families are encouraged to attend and join in where possible.  These youth masses are held on the first Saturday Mass of each month. If you would like to get involved in one of the jobs, eg welcomer, reader, singer or musician, please contact Cate Brennan via the office or email Cate.Brennan@twb.catholic.edu.au

Intergenerational/Intercultural Wisdom needed 

OLSCC is seeking interested persons to be a part of a PRAXIS initiative with Year 9 students, running from Term 2 until the end of the year. The project will involve developing relationships with students and sharing stories, interests and wisdom. Participants will then be interviewed over a series of sessions in order to create films about their life which they will be gifted at the end of the project. Sessions will take place at OLSCC on Wednesdays from 12:30 to 1:30pm. We hope this project will assist students to learn from other members of the community who have experienced different generations and cultures and strengthen the bonds of our St Joseph’s Parish/OLSCC community.

If interested, please contact Cate Brennan (Cate.Brennan@twb.catholic.edu.au)

or Nicholas Blauw (Nicholas.Blauw@twb.catholic.edu.au)

or call 0746724111 for more information.    

Sewing help needed 

Are you a sewer who would be able to hem squares of material for our prayer tables?  Material and thread will be provided.  If you are able to assist, could you please contact Cate Brennan via email Cate.Brennan@twb.catholic.edu.au or the College office.
