Dear parents and carers,
National Reconciliation Week
Reconciliation Week provides an opportunity for reflection about reconciliation nationally, within communities and families.
Within the Catholic Church the sacrament of reconciliation supports us in our relationship with God and others.
During this week may we take any opportunity to build reconciliation in our lives.

I love the sound of rain and to hear it on the roof this morning made me feel happy and grateful. I consider rain a blessing and it looks as though we will be getting plenty of blessings today!
May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries,
May the breeze blow new strength into your being,
May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life.
An Apache blessing
Congratulations to Bethany Jewell, Frank McMahon and Lucy Power who celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation at St Joseph’s Church on Sunday.
