Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C
Sunday, July 24, 2022
In next Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus teaches us that God our Father is always accessible and that prayer is one of the most important ways that we can communicate with him. Jesus even gave us the words we can use to talk to God in prayer. Prayer is a way of striving to recognize how God is reaching out to us with love and responding by presenting him with our needs.
Social Justice Outreach Initiative – Winter Appeal
The St Vincent de Paul Society appreciates the great support provided by schools. Participating in the annual Winter Appeal has a lot to offer our students in terms of deepening their understanding of social justice – particularly with seeing the needs of people in our own neighbourhood and beyond.
Student representatives from Years 3-6 have worked together as members of the MacKillop Kids Group to organise this year’s Winter Appeal – this year our Appeal will focus on winter woollies in particular we will be collecting SOCKS of all colours, size and make. Donations must be new, which can be left in the prepared collection boxes in classrooms next week. We thank you in advance. The items can be collected over the next two weeks. Please refer to the attached flyer.
