The Wednesday Word- Community
Dear Parents and Carers,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, we hear about Jesus starting to gather
together the first Christian community.
Christian communities (just like families) are never perfect
– even Jesus’ closest disciples weren’t always the ideal set
of people. However, everyone works better with others in
community.
Our schools and parish communities were founded to be
places of love, friendship, security and inclusiveness.
People in the past answered Jesus’ call to form our Catholic
school communities which now welcome and support us
and our children. Now it’s our turn to continue the work,
to build on and develop the warm and loving community of
our school – together.
Enjoy a special time together this evening, hearing your
child’s thoughts about this Sunday’s Gospel and this
Wednesday’s word, which is COMMUNITY.
