Kindergarten are exploring how prayer helps to build our relationship with God. They will particularly look at how Jesus taught us to pray with the Our Father. Students will investigate some key prayer practices including:

• making the sign of the cross
• the Amen
• being still and quiet
• genuflecting to the tabernacle
• bowing to the altar
• Christian meditation
• Dadirri

Religious Life of St Michael’s School Community

St Mary MacKillop of the Cross Feast

5/6K are preparing to lead the Whole School Prayer Time reflecting on St Mary MacKillop next week. St Mary MacKillop is the first Australian to have been canonised and is patron saint for all of Australia. Her feast day is 8^th August each year and as this falls on the weekend we will celebrate as a school on Friday 6^th August before our Friday morning assembly. All families are warmly invited to join us in the St Michael’s Church at the beginning of the school day.
