Welcome Community Hospitality
The Spirit of St Clare’s was given the opportunity to shine once again during our Fete last Saturday. We are thankful for the united efforts of the school community to put together an event which harnesses our Charism of Welcome, Community and Hospitality!
International Day of Peace
This coming Sunday is International Day of Peace with the 2019 theme being ‘Climate Action for Peace’. Taking immediate action to address climate change is one way of protecting and promoting world peace.
Let us pray:
God of green and vibrant growing,
you call us to care for the earth and make it a place of peace.
May we listen deeply to the cry of earth and act for climate change
so that our beautiful earth may continue to sustain herself and all her people may live in harmony and freedom.
We pray in the name of Jesus,
who walked on the earth and now lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God, forever and ever.
Amen.

NAIDOC celebrations in Week 2
On Wednesday, 16th October we are planning some activities for each class to celebrate a special NAIDOC Day as NAIDOC Week was celebrated during the July holidays. We will finish the celebrations in St Clare’s Prayer Garden with a whole school prayer lead by the Stewardship Team. More information will follow early next term.
On Friday, 25th October students will be invited to wear a red shirt in recognition of ‘Day for Daniel’ and this day also recognises the important work of teachers, with ‘World Teacher’s Day’ being celebrated.
On Monday, 28th October you are invited to join us in celebrating a Whole School Reconciliation liturgy at 9am in St Clare’s Church.
Thank you all for helping contribute to a successful Term 3 and may the Grace of God be with you throughout the upcoming school holidays.
