Christian Meditation

On Wednesdays after second break all classes will be participating in Christian meditation. Christian meditation involves the students sitting in silence with their eyes closed to be in the presence of the Christ. Today I joined the Foundation students during their meditation and it was wonderful to see all students still, silent and praying together. Ask your child to explain Christian meditation to you and perhaps even pray together at home.

Parish

Children’s Liturgy

St Joseph’s Parish is starting Children’s liturgy during mass at the 8am mass on Sunday 3rd of November. The aim is for Children’s liturgy to continue fortnightly at the 8am mass. Children’s liturgy is a great opportunity for children to learn from the Gospels during mass in a more child-friendly way. There is no need to register for your child to attend, they can go with the person leading children’s liturgy when instructed during the mass and will return before communion. The person or people leading Children’s liturgy will hold a Working With Vulnerable People’s card.
