Religious Education in the Classroom
Welcome to week 7! Year 3 students are learning about the significance of the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) for the Church community and examining the question: How does being initiated strengthen us and our community? During my visit to 3ML, students were exploring Jesus as the Messiah and below are a few student responses to the question: How do you see Jesus as the Messiah?

Cooper: I see Jesus as a fish because it reminds me of when he gave fish to people in need. 

Neva: I have used St. Augustine’s Church to represent Jesus the Messiah because he is in God’s house.

Sam: God is coming down from the sky to watch over us.

Heidi: I see my family as a rescuer of people in need because we buy food and drinks for the homeless people. 

Religious Life of Mt Carmel School

Mt Carmel’s Mini Vinnies News
Sharkie from the Vinnies Canberra School Team visited Mt Carmel School to talk about the role of Vinnies in our community and to launch the Vinnies Christmas Appeal and each classroom has been provided with a basket for donations. At the end of the term, we will be delivering all donations to the St Augustine’s Conference, Yass, of St Vincent de Paul. 

We are seeking your support to help those less fortunate in our community through generous donations of non-perishable food items. Your generosity and support is most appreciated. St Augustine’s Conference has requested the following items:

Prayer

God our Father,
Help us to know of our salvation in your love poured out in Christ your Son.
Just as you have reserved a place for us at your heavenly table, 
May there always be a place in our heart and so a chair at our table for those most in need
We ask this prayer through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
