26th July, 2016 Reflection Celebrating Diversity Almighty God, through your Holy Spirit you created unity in the midst of diversity; We acknowledge that human diversity is an expression of your manifold love for your creation; We confess that in our brokenness as human beings we turn diversity into a source of alienation, injustice, oppression, and wounding. Empower us to recognize and celebrate differences as your great gift to the human family. Enable us to be the architects of understanding, of respect and love; Through the Lord, the ground of all unity, we pray.
Dear Parents and Students, Last Friday staff were involved in a PL Day with Dr Ernesto Valente. CRC Melton hosted the presentation which was attended by staff from CRC Sydenham, St Albans and Caroline Springs and also Parade College and John Paul College. We received overwhelming positive feedback of the day. Below are some of Ernesto’s quotes, for your Reflection:
The law of God is held to be inscribed upon the human heart ( our students). In Christ we have all the revelation we need to find salvation. Salvation begins now. God is a merciful God, a God of kindness. We are all disciples of Christ. We need to creatively recreate the gift of Jesus - this is our challenge as Catholic educators. It is through Jesus that we can be transformed ourselves and transform others. The Gift of Grace heals, renews expands and elevates human nature. How might we become more like Jesus? Through our actions. Parents and Friends Meeting Our July meeting is being held tomorrow evening starting at 7.30pm. The heater will be on and a cup of tea available to keep parents warm! All welcome. Musical 2016 - Grease Good luck to staff, students and parents involved in Grease.
