The Season of Advent

Lighting the Joy Candle

This coming Sunday, we light the 3rd Advent Candle as a sign of joy — a testimony to the Light of God coming into our world that will shatter the darkness and bring healing to all who suffer and mourn.

Loving God, we thank you for the joy you bring us.

Help us prepare our hearts for this gift.

Bless our worship. Help us to hear and to do your word.

We ask it in the name of the one born in Bethlehem, Jesus our Lord.

Amen.

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Food Donations

A huge thank you to all our St Benedict’s families for their generous food donations for the St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal.

Advent Liturgy
Thank you to our Kindergarten and Year ¾ Gold students who led our school community in celebrating our Advent liturgy. It was a lovely celebration that explored

the special symbolism of the advent wreath and candles, and the nativity scene. Fr Dan led us all in prayer to help us reflect on how we can give to others to spread the love of Jesus this Christmas.
