Come, Holy Spirit, 

fill the hearts of your faithful.

And kindle in them the fire of your love.

Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.

And you will renew the face of the earth. 

Lord, 

by the light of the Holy Spirit 

you have taught the hearts of your faithful.

In the same Spirit 

help us to relish what is right 

and always rejoice in your consolation.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Dear Friends,

The prayer above, focusing on the Holy Spirit was shared with parents of our Confirmation candidates at last week's information session.  Please keep in your thoughts and prayers  the children in our Parish community currently preparing for this Sacrament to be celebrated in June.  A particular thank you to parents who are hosting home groups-  home groups are a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families and share this sacramental journey together.

It was also wonderful seeing so many parents reconnect at our Mother's Day stall and working bee last Friday, especially many new parents to our community! Thank you so much for all your hard work, firstly making many children happy with present choice and in the afternoon  ensuring areas in our playground and ELC are maintained.  I especially enjoyed watching our students with their parents helping with the shovelling and the gardening! I also hope all the mothers in our community enjoyed their day on Sunday and the special treats! 

Last Friday also saw our first fundraiser for our GSP school community, Evaland Hekima.  Footy Fever was certainly well received and thank you for your generosity.  Below is an updated newsletter from the GSP Board detailing what they are currently spending our donations on.  Details of the other fundraiser themes for the remainder of the term are set out below in the RE News section.
