WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS
The Whole school focus theme for this year is ‘COME HOLY SPIRIT’
This term at Mother Teresa School we will use the theme that: We are called to Dream
“Don't be afraid to dream big because we have a big God who can do all things. It is only through God's power that we can accomplish all the dreams he has put in our hearts.” Matthew 19:26
Confirmation 2024
Please pray for our Year 6 Confirmation Candidates, their teachers, and families as they prepare this important sacrament.
Let us lift up those preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation that this unique time of preparation will inspire in their hearts a deep love for Christ and his Church.
Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.
Spirit Day
On Friday, our Year 6 students participated in ‘Spirit Day’ retreat for the sacrament of confirmation. We hope the students enjoyed the opportunity to reflect on their faith journey so far this year. They celebrated Reconciliation with Fr Troy and Fr Eden in an uplifting ceremony. The Youth Ministers from the three schools were amazing as they brought to life the importance of the sacrament to the students. They also had an opportunity to create cards for their sponsors and engage in various activities ensuring that our Confirmation candidates are well and truly prepared to make the sacrament next week.
Sacrament of Confirmation – Thursday 23rd & Friday 24th May at 6.00pm
Please ensure you are at the church 15 minutes prior to the ceremony starting.
Pentecost Sunday 19 May
2024 - Year B
“As the Father sent me, so I send you. Receive the Holy Spirit.”
Something to Think About
If you go into a church this weekend, you will notice that the colours have changed! Things which were white for Easter are now red for Pentecost. The priest will be wearing red too. What does the colour red make you think of?
The Story
Today we are going to listen to a reading from the Acts of the Apostles. It tells the story of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came. Jesus’ friends were together in one room, when they heard a sound like a huge wind. A tongue of fire came and rested above each person. The disciples started speaking different languages so that all the people could understand the wonderful things that God had done.
