  • During Lent, this was a focus of our prayer intentions. So as we celebrate Pentecost this weekend, let us keep the gift of thinking about others going.
  • Let us continue to pray for all those who are impacted by conflict, especially those in Ukraine;
  • For those in our community who reside in Claymore, St Andrews and Kearns;
  • For the students who are competing in the Diocesean Cross Country and the teachers who are supporting them.
Earlier this year, this photo showing the statue of Mary wrapped in a silver emergency blanket was shared in the newsletter. 

Emergency blankets help to provide warmth for those in the worst of all emergency situations.

This is the College's way to connect to the Marist 2022 Theme Image of the Lady of Loretto. The painting shows Mary, with the Child Jesus, given protection with a gold emergency blanket. It is a reminder to us that there are many people, today, who are fleeing the worst situations, to find themselves as refugees, and only having the warmth of an emergency blanket.

So as we go home to our places of warmth and security, let us not forget those in our world who are living as refugees.
