2. Faith Facts - Week 6, Term 2 2023

Welcome to the End of Week 6 and Trinity Sunday celebration on this our 1st Kings Birthday Weekend. 

Thank you to Father Fredy for guiding our Parent Meeting last Tuesday evening on the introductory rite of Baptism. Our candidates will receive the Sacrament of Baptism in our school Mass in week 10 after receiving in-school instruction.

Our Thanks and Appreciation go to our Yr 7 and 8 leaders for proclaiming the Gospel, sharing prayers and Mihi for our Pentecost Mass in Week 5, and again to our lovely Ruma Kiwi students for their growing leadership with proclaiming the Gospel, sharing prayers and Mihi for our Mass celebrating Trinity Sunday.  

A special mention to our Altar servers, Technicians and Kapahaka leaders as they all practice Reverence in their ministeries.

The month of June is devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
TO THE THEME FOR 2023 is Do Good; seek justice (Isaiah 1:17)


At least once a year, Christians are reminded of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (see John 17.21). Hearts are touched and Christians come together to pray for their unity. Congregations and parishes all over the world exchange preachers or arrange special ecumenical celebrations and prayer services. 


Wednesday was the feast of The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. What joy there was when the two cousins met. Both pregnant and both blessed. As many mothers will know, the opportunity to share the joys and quirks of pregnancy is a special time. It is a real and human time shared with us in these scriptures. We are enabled to enter and share this special moment in Mary and Elizabeth's life many centuries later.
