From the Director of the Junior School, Anthony Banboukjian
Prayer of the Week
Last Sunday marked the beginning of Advent, when the Church prepares for the coming of Jesus. It is a time to invite Jesus to be more and more a part of our lives.
This week marks the last week of term and the beginning of our summer holidays. Our holy days this season are Advent and Christmas. Christmas is a time where we remember the birth of Jesus, who is our guiding light. It is a special occasion, a time to share with our loved ones.
We pray to Our Father to guide us through the next phases in our lives. Many of us here are continuing on at Waverley College next year, but there are some who are moving onto new schools. May all of our new challenges be met with excitement and courage.
Amen.
Blessed Edmund Rice: Pray for Us
St Mary of the Cross: Pray for Us
Live Jesus in our Hearts: Forever
