In Sunday’s Gospel account, Nicodemus was told that people can choose to believe or not believe in Christ; they can prefer darkness to the light. There has always been a choice. The choice is ours to make. Just as our students can choose to take responsibility for their choices and develop good attitudes and work habits.

This week we value Excellence.  Excellence often refers to greatness, the very best. Achieving excellence is a very difficult thing to do at times. It is a quality that people really appreciate, because it is so hard to find. Striving for excellence is trying to do our best at whatever task we set our minds to do. At Holy Spirit, staff are always looking for ways to help students achieve excellence. This, we pray that our students draw upon their many skills and show excellence in a given area.

PROJECT COMPASSION: Don’t forget to keep filling your Project Compassion Boxes. This year, Project Compassion features a number of stories of inspiring people who have been helped by Project Compassion. Visit: https://www.caritas.org.au/project-compassion/ronita-story/ Ronita’s story from the Philippines for Project Compassion: After the birth of her children, 22-year-old Ronita was at risk of having to leave school permanently. But with the support of Caritas Australia’s partners in the Philippines, she resumed her studies and now has a job to support her family.

Sacramental Programme: Please keep the students in our prayers as they make the Sacrament of Reconciliation tonight.

God Bless
