Reconciliation Day Liturgy
Next Tuesday, 27th May 2.30pm, Year 3/4 Blue will be leading our school in a Reconciliation Day liturgy. This year’s theme is ‘Grounded in Truth, Walk Together with Courage.’  Families and friends are warmly invited to join us for this special occasion.

Staff Spirituality Retreat

Please keep our St Benedict’s Staff in your prayers as they participate in a Spirituality Retreat this afternoon focused on ‘cultivating the ear of their hearts’. We pray that they are nourished spirituality to voice the truth and listen with an open heart, as they spend time in prayer and contemplation on the Parable of the Sower.

Mini Vinnies
Our Mini Vinnies are beginning to organise our annual Winter Woollies Day (whole school event) which will be held Friday 28^th June to raise awareness about the issue of homelessness in Canberra as well as donations for the St Vincent de Paul Night Patrol Van. In preparation for this we ask that all families begin collecting adult size winter clothing, as well as blankets and sleeping bags. Donations can be second-hand or new. Please store these at home until Winter Woollies Day, as we do not have the capacity to store these at school.

Community Meals Program
The Community Meals freezer is one way we can assist families who are experiencing hardship. If you are able to cook a meal, please use disposable containers and label with ingredients and date. All meal donations can be brought to the Front Office. If your family requires temporary meal assistance, you can speak in confidence to any of our staff members.
