Pray to the Holy Trinity
Glory be to the Father, Who by His almighty power and love created me, making me in the image and likeness of God. Glory be to the Son, Who by His Precious Blood delivered me from hell, and opened for me the gates of heaven. Glory be to the Holy Spirit, Who has sanctified me in the sacrament of Baptism, and continues to sanctify me by the graces I receive daily from His bounty. Glory be to the Three adorable Persons of the Holy Trinity, now and forever. Amen. Image: Pexels - Pixabay License - Free for commercial use No attribution required |

Plan for Refugee Day
This Thursday 20th June is World Refugee Day. It provides us with a great impetus to begin or to continue raising our students’ awareness of how different people’s experiences are around the world. Teaching kids about refugees build upon qualities like compassion, kindness and understanding. Three things we all know the world can do with a little more of! Here are some wonderful World Refugee Day activities and ideas for your classroom. Please pray: —that they may be welcomed and find peace in Australia —that they may find hope and restoration from the despair and persecution from which they have fled —that Christians can celebrate unity in Christ while celebrating our differences in cultures and nationalities —that unaccompanied refugee children may be protected from all harm and reunited with loving families Activities for Refugee Day Image: geralt - Pixabay License - Free for commercial use - No attribution required |
