This week at Holy Spirit, we value courage.  Most often, we associate courage with physical prowess or bravery.  Courage can also be seen in the form of being honest, fair, not giving up, being a peacemaker.  This type of courage often requires us to sometimes step out of our comfort zone and do something we might not usually do but know we must as it is the right thing.  This week we encourage our students to think how they can be courageous and help others.  

Last Saturday was ANZAC Day, a day to remember the many courageous men and women who have served our nation during war, those who have died, those who have returned from war, those who are still in peacekeeping teams and those who have died while helping with humanitarian aid in war torn countries.  Even though our school was unable to participate in our whole school Liturgy and  join others in the Parade, it was still a time for families to reflect and participate in their own way to show appreciation for those who have or continue to show courage serving our country.

Saturday 1 May - FEAST OF SAINT JOSEPH THE WORKER

We celebrate two feast days for Joseph:  March 19 for Joseph the Husband of Mary and May 1 for Joseph the Worker.  Saint Joseph is the model for all who work, because in his humble and simple work as a carpenter, he cared for the holy family and provided for the needs of Mary and Jesus.  Through Saint Joseph, we can learn the importance of diligence and faithfulness in our daily life and work.
