One Community

in God’s Love

We are a EUCHARISTIC Community

Welcome to Week 1.

I trust you all had an enjoyable Easter and holiday break with your family.

This term, St Thomas More’s School prayer theme is focusing on being a ‘EUCHARISTIC Community’ and what it means to be a EUCHARISTIC person. 

As Catholics, we know that the Eucharist is a Sacrament commemorating the Last Supper, in which bread and wine are consecrated and consumed. We are ‘remembering’ Jesus at the Last Supper and we are also called to go forth to share the love and peace of Jesus in our community.

Pope Francis spoke these important words when he was launching the ‘World Day of the Poor.’

“The Body of Christ, broken in the sacred liturgy, can be seen, through charity and sharing, in the faces and persons of the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters.”

In other words, as a Eucharistic Community we are called to reach out to those who are less fortunate and feeling vulnerable.

We are also called to show gratitude for what we have in life, knowing there are people who don’t have their basic needs met.

This term is also an important term for students who are celebrating in the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. As a Eucharistic Community, may we reach out to these students in support and share the love and peace of Jesus with them.

May you all enjoy a wonderful Week 10 and holiday break with loved ones.
