REC News

Pentecost Sunday 31.05.2020

Pentecost.jpgWhen Pentecost day came round, they had all met in one room, when suddenly they heard what sounded like a powerful wind from heaven, the noise of which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and something appeared to them that seemed like tongues of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak foreign languages as the Spirit gave them the gift of speech. Acts 2:1-11

A time to Reflect

The Holy Spirit filled the disciples with courage and faith to share the Good News! They began to tell others about Jesus, and that he died for us and rose to new life. Pentecost is sometimes known as the ‘birthday of the Church.’ On this day, the Holy Spirit came to the disciples. God the Father and Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to help the Church and guide the Church. The coming of the Holy Spirit was the point by which the Church truly begun! This same Holy Spirit is with us today.

If the Holy Spirit could give you one gift – like the courage and faith of the disciples at Pentecost - what would it be? Why?

Project Compassion

REC_Kids_image.jpgThank you to all our wonderful families who so generously supported Project Compassion this year. Our mission boxes have been counted and $158.70 has now been forwarded to Caritas Australia.

This is an amazing effort when there are so many hardships being felt in this current economic climate.

More Good News - As of the 1st June we are now allowed to have 50 people attending Mass. This will mean we can now plan our School Masses. We will not be able to attend as a whole school but with some classes present each week.

This Friday Years 3/4 and 5/6 will present the Mass.

Altar Serving -  A new Altar Serving Roster will be sent out with the Newsletter. Thank you for your continued support of this important role. If your rostered date does not suit please arrange a swap.

Mass time - Please note that this Saturday 6th June there will be ONLY one Mass at 5 pm. Father is investigating if this is a more suitable time during the winter months. An announcement will be made shortly.
