FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK:
Dear Parents and Carers of Good Samaritan,
This coming Sunday is Palm Sunday. On Palm Sunday we commemorate the triumphal entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem before his arrest on Holy Thursday and his Crucifixion on Good Friday. It is a day that we mark the beginning of Holy Week, the final week of Lent. It is the week in which we celebrate the mystery of our salvation through Christ’s Death and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
At the 8:30am Mass on Sunday morning, the Confirmation Candidates form Good Samaritan and their families will commit to the parish sacramental program and ask for the prayerful support of the parishioners as they prepare to receive the third Sacrament of Initiation, Confirmation.
I extend my sincere thanks to the parents and staff who were able to attend the Working Bee held in the grounds of Good Samaritan last Saturday. It was an extremely productive day and I hope that you have been able to notice the fresh paint work and the new garden areas. Special thanks must go to the following:
- De Santis Decorating: Thank you for supplying the paint, brushes and labour for the morning. The tables have been freshly stained, the garden has been given a freshly painted upgrade, and the demountables have never looked better!
- Good Samaritan Parents and Friends: Thank you for donating the plants in the garden beds near the hall. They look beautiful, fresh and vibrant.
- Leisure Coast Garden Centre: Thank you for all of your advice when choosing plants, herbs and vegetables. You are great neighbours!
- The staff husbands: Thank you for giving so generously of your time and muscle power!
