St Vincent de Paul 2022 Christmas Appeal
Many families are struggling to survive the increasing cost-of-living pressures this Christmas. Your generosity can provide urgent relief for families who are doing it tough, and help provide a lot more joy this Christmas.
The MacKillop Kids group have organised a Christmas Appeal supporting the Narre Warren St Vincent de Paul Conference Group who are seeking support from Parishes and schools to give generously to the 2022 Christmas Appeal. Donations of suitable new toys for children aged 5-12 years would be greatly appreciated for parents to give gifts they know their children dream of. Please place unwrapped gifts in classroom collection boxes. The 2022 Christmas Appeal will run through to 9th December.
Term 4 Mass and Reconciliation celebrations
All parents, families and friends are invited to celebrate Mass and Reconciliation during the term. The attachment outlines class and school celebrations for the term. When attending a celebration please sign in at the School Office.
We do ask that all parents and visitors in our school that your mobile phones are either switched off, on silent and put away during prayer and liturgical celebrations. Thank you.
Second Sunday of Advent, Cycle A
Sunday, December 4, 2022
Matthew 3:1-12
John the Baptist appears in Judea preaching a message of repentance.
In this week's Gospel Reading and next week's, our Advent preparation for Christmas invites us to consider John the Baptist and his relationship to Jesus. In this week's Gospel, Matthew describes the work and preaching of John the Baptist. John the Baptist tells us that we prepare the way of the Lord when we repent, or turn away from sin and back toward God. We can reflect on any poor choices we have made and ask God for forgiveness. We change our behaviour by making good moral choices. In this way, we prepare our minds and hearts to welcome Jesus at Christmas.
