Mass of Thanksgiving

With the conclusion of the 2019 school year, it was fitting that we paused and set aside some time for prayer and reflection in thanksgiving for all that we have received throughout the year. We are blessed with so many good things for which we must express our gratitude.

 

Jesus knows what it is to be human. Jesus models for us the highest expression of our humanity. Jesus teaches us to be loving, compassionate, merciful, caring and just. As one way of honouring Jesus’ command to ‘love one another’, we offered in our Mass the donations we have made to the St Vincent de Paul Society to assist them with their Christmas Appeal.

We also acknowledged that this was our final Eucharistic celebration this year as the St Patrick’s community. Our prayer today was one of sincere gratitude for the many blessings with which our loving God has favoured us this year.
