A big thank you to all the families who have donated to our warm winter woolly appeal. The baskets in the front office are starting to fill up. We will collect until next Monday so if you would still like to donate you are more than welcome to.

The month of June falls within the liturgical season of Ordinary Time, which is represented by the liturgical colour green. This symbol of hope is the colour of the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. 

June 13th is also the feast day of St Anthony of Padua.

Called the Wonder Worker, he is one of the most popular saints in the Catholic Church and is implored as the patron of lost things. He is also the patron saint of sailors, fisherfolk, priests, and travellers. St Anthony devoted his life to working with the poor. He was a preacher and theologian and was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII.

I wish you all a wonderful week.
