APRE's Report

Dear Families,


Year of Jubilee

2025 is a Jubilee Year in the Catholic Church.

 

The Universal Church traditionally proclaims a Jubilee Year every 25 years. It is a year set aside to encourage the faithful to embark on pilgrimages, repent of their sins and forgive the sins of others, and renew their focus on spiritual life.

The theme is Pilgrims of Hope. Catholics have been invited to renew our hope and discover a vision that can "restore access to the fruits of the earth to everyone". We are also invited to rediscover a spirituality of God's creation in which we understand ourselves as "pilgrims on the earth" rather than masters of the world.

 

You will see this logo often this year…

 

The logo symbolises unity and fraternity among all of humanity, with four stylised figures from different corners of the earth embracing each other. The leading figure holds a cross, representing faith and hope. The rough waves beneath the figures symbolise life's challenges, emphasising the need for hope in difficult times. The elongated lower part of the cross forms an anchor, a well-known symbol of hope. This image depicts the pilgrimage as a communal journey towards the cross, which reaches out dynamically to offer presence and hope.

The Solemnity of Mary Help of Christians

As a school community, we come together to celebrate the feast of Mary Help of Christians, the official patroness of Australia since 1844. Her feast day is May 24. On Friday, May 23, all our students and staff will gather for a whole-school meditation, a moment of unity and celebration of our shared faith.

Almighty God, deepen in our hearts our love of Mary Help of Christians. 

Through her prayers and under her protection, may the light of Christ shine over our land. 

May Australia be granted harmony, justice and peace. 

Grant wisdom to our leaders and integrity to our citizens. 

Bless especially the men and women of the Australian Defence Force and their families. 

We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

Amen

Mary Help of Christians, pray for us.


God Bless!
