Welcome Community Hospitality
Welcome back to Term Two!
It was wonderful to see all the Children returning to school ready to learn and to celebrate the Easter Season.
During the first week of Term 2, we celebrated a combined Easter and ANZAC Mass and came together on ANZAC Day to march with the Tully community with grateful hearts to thank all those who gave their lives so that we may live in peace and freedom. We pray that we remember that, to live in a peace filled world, each one of must make the choice to be peacemakers. Peace begins with you and me.
Let us pray…
God of Easter joy,
we thank you for the gift of Jesus and the new life he has given us.
May we be inspired to live out this new life in the way we treat each other and be people of hope, people of joy and people of peace.
We ask this in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

ALTAR SERVERS - RETURN SLIPS
We are seeking students who wish to serve at our weekend masses in Tully and Mission Beach during term 2 and 3. In order to be eligible to serve, students need to have made the sacrament of First Eucharist. We are looking at putting together a roster whereby your child would serve approximately once a month at the weekend mass.
