As our Parish Priest was unavailable on Wednesday for our weekly mass in Grenfell, we had a prayer celebration instead. Every child in the school was asked to contribute a prayer for this celebration. While there were some recurring themes, each prayer was a sincere expression of a heartfelt desire. 

I am including a few of these prayers in the newsletter this week and I will be including others in future weeks. I am also going to collate these prayers into a book for the students to use during our whole school assemblies. The students love to share prayers (and other writing) when it has been written by their classmates and friends.

Please join us each Wednesday this term for a mass or prayer celebration. Next week, the Year 5/6 students will be preparing and presenting the readings and prayers. 

Dear God,

We pray for Alexander who is in hospital. We pray for all those in hospital. We also pray for people who have passed away, including Craig Simpson.

Amen                                                   Hamish Gibson

Dear Lord,

Please help my mum and other mums who are having babies that they don’t struggle with all their work and that they enjoy their newborn babies.

Amen                                                   Stella Fanning

Dear God,

Please bring us some rain because the land is so dusty and dry. No rain means no harvest and that is not good for anyone. So please, God, bring us some rain. Amen                                           Henry Clifton

Many blessings,
