Doing Something Different for Lent

Ms Beaumont Leave a comment

Pope Francis’ message this Lent:

Nobody, no situation and no place

is beyond God’s care 

 

Dear Mums and Dads, Aunties, Uncles, Staff, brothers and sisters,

Missio have met today and decided that during Lent we would like to do something different! Missio have suggested that together as a Catholic community we might:

  1. Give up or limit time on phones, i-pads, Play Stations?
  2. Find 5 minutes extra a day to pray to Jesus?
  3. Save pocket money and give to those in need?

 

Together we have decided to rise to the challenge of walking 10,000 steps a day during Lent. We would like everyone to join us ‘Doing something different’, getting fit and raising money for Missions in Peru (Father Giovanni) and Mission Together.

 

We thought it would be fun to do this together and are hoping that our whole community will join us in this adventure.

Please fill in the promise below asap and send donations in by Monday 8th April.                                                 

 Thanks, Missio

 

 

Missio Prayer Buddies

Missio Ambassadors have today been developing the prayer garden. The sun shone as we cleaned and  began to decorate the Chill out zone. Thanks to Mr Michael O’Brien who has given the area a fresh coat of paint. Today our Missio thought about friends in school for whom they would like to pray. Simple baubles were decorated and hung on the conifer trees.
