Project Compassion

Thanks to our wonderful Good Sam community for your generous donations. Collectively with our Shrove Tuesday, Hot Cross Bun Drive and our classroom boxes, we raised $1501.26.

As the Religious Education Coordinator of our school, it makes me proud to belong to such a community. Several students donated their own birthday money or money they had saved at home from doing extra chores. It is when we reflect on these acts of service that we bear witness to what it means to be a child of God. It clarifies what a wonderful job parents are doing to raise such humble and compassionate humans, truly living by St Benedicts value of Loving, Christ and Neighbour.

Our winning class who raised the most funds is 2 GOLD with a total of $410.00

The Solemnity of the Annunciation celebrates the coming of the Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary to announce to her the special mission God had chosen for her in being the mother of His only son.

We are continually reminded of the importance of this feast to our salvation in various devotional prayers. Two examples that highlight the importance of this feast are the joyous mysteries of the Rosary and the Angelus.

The feast of the Annunciation began to be celebrated on this day during the fourth and fifth centuries, soon after the date for celebrating Christmas was universalized throughout the Church. This feast celebrates the Incarnation of the Second Person of the Trinity and the salvation of all mankind. This point of our salvation was deeply discussed by many of the Church fathers, to explain it to the faithful and to show the deep love God has for us. Some of the Church fathers who wrote on this were St. Athanasius, St. Gregory of Nyssa and St. Augustine.
