Let us come together in compassion and solidarity this Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord, no refugee is a stranger to You, and no one is ever far from Your loving care. Watch over children and families as they travel to camps or relocate within their country. Shelter their souls and their bodies. Heal the hearts of refugees who have endured unimaginable tragedy and trauma.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once a year, the Vinnies food vans deliver a little extra joy to children whose families are doing it tough. As part of their Christmas outreach, each child receives a small bag of lollies \u2013 a simple treat that brings a big smile. This year, we\u2019d love to help make that moment even sweeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are inviting our school community to donate\u00a0a bag of lollies\u00a0to support this beautiful initiative. Your donation will go directly to Vinnies, who will include it in their festive care packages for families in need. It\u2019s a small gesture that can make a big difference. Please bring your donation of\u00a0<\/strong>lollies\u00a0to your child’s class or to the Del Monte Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s spread some sweetness and kindness together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the sacrament of Holy Communion, we remember what Jesus did for us in his life, death and resurrection.

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’<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0We pray for our students who have received the Sacrament of First Communion during the last few months.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tina Nicotina<\/strong> Del Monte Christmas Giving Appeal 2025 \u2013 gift cards for dignity and choice As part of our Term 4 outreach initiative, the Year 4 Social Justice Team are inviting families to contribute\u00a0gift cards\u00a0to the Del Monte Christmas Appeal.
