RE News - Haley Stonham

Firstly, welcome back to all our families and friends who help to make our school community a vibrant place to belong. We have launched our new St Monica’s Way and I am sure that you all could name the four footsteps already – RESPECT, RESILIENCE, ENGAGEMENT and GROWTH!

Last Friday we were able to gather as a whole school to welcome in the new school year with our Opening School Mass. Fr Loi helped us to understand what ‘one body, many parts’ meant in the first reading from 1Corinthians and introduced us to Mr. Potato Head. He explained that just like Mr. Potato Head has one body and many interchangeable parts, we also have many parts to play in being the one body – God needs all of us to play our part. We each are unique and bring gifts to our world.

Our Gospel reading was ‘The Road to Emmaus” from the Gospel of Luke. It was to be reminded that we need to keep our hearts open to Jesus, especially as we journey in faith in the footsteps of St Monica! We need to draw on our focus from last year and be the good soil so we can recognise Jesus’ presence in our lives.
