From the Religious Education Coordinator – Bringing Them Home: Honouring Every Life

Last week was Homelessness Week. Throughout this week homelessness services and community groups raised awareness of the impact of homelessness, and the solutions needed to end homelessness, and advocate for change. To support Homelessness Week, students from Domremy attended The Bringing Them Home Service,  an annual ceremony, celebrated by Bishop Terry Brady,  held at Rookwood Catholic Cemetery, to honour the homeless and isolated individuals who have passed away. Those who have passed may not have any family or friends to honour their lives. Thank you to the students  for attending this special service.

Loving God,

W pray for our brothers and sisters who have passed away without the comfort of a home.

We remember their lives and the hardships they faced.

May they find shelter and peace in your presence,

free from the pain and suffering they endured in life.

We pray for justice for the homeless

and for an end to the conditions that lead to homelessness. Amen
