From the Religious Education Coordinator

As we come to the end of the school year, we have much to give thanks and to celebrate. This year has been one of many challenges: fire, floods, storms, pandemic, isolation, uncertainty and the unknown.  We also acknowledge the successes: the building of relationships and our learnings throughout the year. In the midst of all our challenges and successes has been God.Each year, we learn to appreciate family, friends and relationships. Father Paul Sullivan sm in a Marist Mission Centre newsletter said “I believe that our desire to care for those we love will ultimately shape who we are and what we do. The story of a baby born in a stable in Bethlehem is the gift of God’s care and compassion for us and our world. Jesus identifies with us by accepting our humanity and vulnerability. We are sharers in his life and mission.”May you celebrate ‘the gift of each other” this Christmas and for the years to come.Thank you for your support during my time as the Religious Education Coordinator at Marist Sisters’ College Woolwich.

End of Year Prayer Service

On Tuesday, we gathered as a College community to mark the end of the College year. Led by the student leaders – Bianca, Ava, Claudia, Daniella, Isabelle, Olivia, Katelyn and Madison – we celebrated the season of Advent; a season of hope.  We gathered together in faith even though we were distanced throughout the College. The Prayer Service was a time for community prayer and personal reflection where we also acknowledged and thanked the staff members leaving the College.

I share with you the Opening Prayer of the service:

God our Father, our life is blessed with many good gifts. Make us truly thankful for the gifts of our sisters at the College, for the gift of those who guide us and help us to grow to be women of courage, especially the teachers in our school. May we be your presence in the world in how we relate to others, empowered in all that we say and do. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.
