St Mary's Mission Day- Catholic Mission  

Tomorrow is our Mission Day where we raise funds for Catholic Mission and those in great need in our world. We begin the day with Mass where we pray for peace and justice for all people, especially those who don’t have what they need to live a full life.

It is up to us to do as Jesus’ asks us and REACH OUT AND GIVE LIFE. We are all called to be Missionary Disciples who reach out and help others with “Heart, Head, and Hands”.

• know, in our minds that we are all God’s beloved children
• desire in our hearts to show compassion
• Work with our hands to seek justice and peace for everyone; (to serve others as Jesus did to bring about God’s Kingdom on earth where all are equal, and all HAVE ENOUGH)

Our older students have been busy preparing a range of activities and novelty events for the afternoon. Whilst our Mission Day is always great fun, may it also remind us how blessed we are in our lives and how little others have. May it remind us that we are called follow in Jesus’ footsteps and serve the poor…

Matthew 25:35-40

³⁵ For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶ I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

You are welcome to join us tomorrow for Mass, lunch, and the activities in the afternoon if you are able.
