From the APRIM - Rita Campbell
Sacrament of Confirmation
To receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit you must open your heart and invite the Holy Spirit in! Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts, words and actions every day! Be grateful for all the gifts God has given you! Regardless of your individual circumstances, God has given all of us many blessings.
What we do with those gifts is our gift back to God! By generously sharing everything we have and everything we are, we become more “God-centered” and less “self- centered” and our lives truly reflect God’s light, love, and mercy.
Congratulations to the children who were confirmed in the spirit by Fr Dean Marin and Fr John Sebastian at St Pius X Church this week: Jack, Kobe, Hanna, Sebastian, Xavier, Chrisa, Lucas, Alana, Benjamin, Hannah, Luke, Samuel, Luca, Abigail, Jessica, Giorgio, Riel, Shenali, Jaiden, Elliana, Katie, Oliver, Sara, Aarom, Katelyn, Ari, Jessica, Deon, and Caelyn.
We pray that through gratitude and generosity, you learn to open your hearts and invite the Holy Spirit into your life!
I would like to thank the Year 4 teachers: Nigel Armstrong, Jane Buhagiar, Angela Terminello and Andrew Getgood for their support and teaching of the program. The children were well prepared and ready for the celebration and connected their faith to their world.
The celebration of their First Holy Communion will be held on June 27th.
Feasts of Pentecost and Holy Trinity
These two very important feasts recognise the gifts and presence of the Holy Spirit and the belief that God is three in one. The Feast of the Holy Trinity always follows Pentecost. It is a reminder and focus on God as three parts – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We can call on any of the parts at any time to be with us in times of need as well as in times of celebration. Each person of the Trinity is fully God, and each person is distinct from the other two. Although they are distinct, they are also united in one essence and nature.
