Faith Matters
Catholic Schools Week September 16-21
“Discovering New Horizon”
The theme for Catholic Education Week this year has been aligned with the official Year of Youth theme for 2018 and is derived from a speech given by Pope Francis at World Youth Day 2016 where he called young people and the Church to ‘open new horizons for spreading joy’
My friends, Jesus is the Lord of risk, he is the Lord of the eternal “more”. Jesus is not the Lord of comfort, security and ease. Following Jesus demands a good dose of courage, a readiness to trade in the sofa for a pair of walking shoes and to set out on new and uncharted paths. To blaze trails that open up new horizons capable of spreading joy, born of God’s love and wells up in your hearts with every act of mercy.
Pope Francis
As part of Catholic Schools Week, schools from across our western area will be gathering together to celebrate Mass here in Cootamundra on Tuesday 18th September at 12:00am. Everyone from our community is welcome to join us in this celebration.
Yr. 71 Class Mass
On Wednesday Year 71 celebrated their class mass. The theme of the mass was “We are all People of the Spirit.” The students celebrated how others and themselves use the virtues of the Holy Spirit to be people of action.
