Thank you to all the families who have already donated snacks for the St Vincent De Paul Night Patrol. Night Patrol is an outreach service that operates across Sydney, providing meals, snacks, blankets, toiletries, hot beverages, and companionship to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This service is invaluable in supporting those in need within our community.

Over the next two weeks, we encourage families to continue to donate the following items.

Prep	Kindergarten	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3	Year 4
Juice poppers	Canned tuna   Cuppa soup/sachet soup	Packets of sultanas   Noodle cups	Fruit cups   Sandwich-size ziplock bags	Nut-free muesli bars (please ensure they are chewy, such as Uncle Toby’s Choc Chip Bars)	Packets of biscuits (e.g., single-serve Tiny Teddies)   Le Snak/ Cheese Dippits

Sacramental Program of First Communion

In the sacrament of Holy Communion, we remember what Jesus did for us in his life, death and resurrection. We remember particularly the Last Supper, that final meal Jesus shared with his disciples. At that meal, Jesus gave us the Eucharist so that we could remember him in a special way. When we receive Communion, we believe that we receive the person of Jesus into our very beings. We become one with him, and we become one with each other. As a community, we become ‘the body of Christ’

We pray for our students who have received the Sacrament of First Communion during the last few weeks or will be receiving the sacrament very soon.

Loving Father,
As we come to the end of another term we turn to you in prayer
May the holiday be a time of rest and recreation
to help restore and re-create us in your image and likeness,
as we enjoy more of the love and presence
of our families, on whom we ask your blessing.

Amen.
