LET US PRAY
St Augustine, our patron saint. You loved God with all your heart. Teach us to live God’s word through respect for ourselves, others and the world around us. May God always bless St Augustine’s school. May God walk with us and be beside us. May God help us to grow into a strong, loving and peaceful learning community.We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen
Saint Augustine, Pray for us
Last week we celebrated the feast day of St Augustine our patron saint. Proudly we honoured St Augustine and gave thanks that our school is named after him. Thank you to the year 5/6 teachers and students who led us in prayer through their liturgy. It was a wonderful way to begin our day and rejoice as a community.
St Augustine is also known for his many quotes. These are a few.
“Because God has made us for Himself, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him.
“A Christian is: a mind through which Christ thinks, a heart through which Christ loves, a voice through which Christ speaks, and a hand through which Christ helps.
“God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.”
“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.”

FATHER’S DAY
A very Happy Father’s day on Sunday to all dads and those special men who are a father figure to us. May you receive the affection and appreciation you deserve. We also remember all fathers who now rest in the loving arms of God.
How did God the Father show his love for us all?
One of God’s greatest acts of love for us was to send His Son, Jesus, to the earth. Through the teachings and grace of Jesus we feel God’s love, receive forgiveness, and learn how to love the people around us.
Let Your Light Shine
A Father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor the sail to take us there, but God’s guiding light whose love shows us the way.
Happy Father’s Day 2023
