Happy Mother's Day
The Month of May- within the cycle of a year, the Church unfolds the whole mystery of Christ. In celebration this cycle, the Church honour with special love, Mary the Mother of God. The month of May is dedicated to Mary.
Thank you, God, for mothers who love and show us how to be good. Bless my mother with what she needs and help me to be a blessing. Amen.
Thank you, God, for Grandma and her love for me. I love her and she loves me. Give her enough energy to keep up with me because she says "I wear her out". Amen.
Thank you, God, for the other mothers, such as Aunt____ and Aunt___, my teacher and ___ who looks after me while Mum works. Take care of them and bless them on Mother's Day. Amen.

School and Family Mass:
Today Mrs Winders' class-Year 7&8 (Kakapo) was presenting the gospel at mass. Next week gospel presentation will be Mrs Thomas class- Year 5&6. You are welcome to join us celebrating Mass.
Why do we go to Mass? If you look around you will see that God calls all kinds of people. Everyone is there for one reason, we believe in God- the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. When we are at Mass we are called a liturgical assembly of faithful people. The whole assembly gathers to give praise and thanks to God.
