Dear Parents and Carers

In last Sunday’s Gospel reading from Luke 12:32-48, Jesus shares a powerful message about trust, readiness, and the responsibility we have in our relationship with God. In these verses, Jesus tells his disciples not to be afraid, for God has chosen to give them the kingdom. This reassurance calls us to live with faith, knowing that God's love and care for us are unwavering.

This trust in God’s provision brings to mind the example of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, who placed her complete trust in God throughout her life. She faced countless challenges and uncertainties, yet she remained steadfast in her belief that God would guide her. Like the disciples in Sunday’s Gospel, she was called to serve others with a heart full of faith, and she did so by founding schools and helping those in need, always relying on God’s grace and guidance. St Mary of the Cross MacKillop’s life reminds us that even in times of difficulty, when the future may seem uncertain, trusting in God’s plan allows us to find strength and purpose.

As parents and educators, we are entrusted with the precious task of nurturing our children’s hearts and minds, preparing them not only academically but spiritually and morally for the future. The Gospel reminds us that being vigilant, keeping our hearts focused on God, and living with integrity are essential parts of our calling as disciples. Like St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, we are called to live with purpose and to be faithful stewards of the gifts God has entrusted to us.

Let us encourage our children to live with a sense of responsibility—not just for their learning, but for their relationships, their spiritual growth, and their commitment to one another in our school community. In doing so, we help them understand that the most important things are not what we own or accumulate, but how we live, love, and serve.

May we all continue to trust in God’s provision and live with a heart ready to serve, knowing that we are part of a much greater plan.

Have a wonderful week!
