Friday 24th May 2019

In this Sunday's Gospel we listen to the words of Jesus speaking with the disciples about the coming of the Holy Spirit.  The peace which Jesus gives, is a special inner peace which comes from receiving the Holy Spirit into our lives.  Through the sacrifice he made on the cross, Jesus won this peace for us.  True peace comes only from God.  This peace is not dependent on peaceful conditions: we can experience it even in the midst of trouble or uncertainty. Peace, like love, is a gift to share.

A reminder that school will be closed to pupils on Monday 3rd June due to an In-service Training day for staff.  Summer term 2 begins for all pupils on Tuesday 4th June.  Also, our MAC wide INSET day will take place on Friday 28th June. 

This year's Summer Fayre will take place on Saturday 22nd June - 12 - 3pm. To make the fayre a success we NEED your help. There are sign up sheets in the school's main reception area; if you can spare an hour on that day please sign up as a volunteer. We are also looking for donations of raffle prizes too.

Interested in hiring you own stall or sponsorship/advertising your company please leave your details at reception and a member of the PTA will contact you.

All monies raised by our Summer Fayre helps to enrich the school lives of our children here at St. Joseph's. Thank you for your continued support.

From Friday 7th June, Praise Assembly will return to mornings starting at 9.10am. Thank you.

Children in St. Joseph's School are growing to be curious about everything; and active in their engagement with the world, changing what they can do for the better.

Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for sending the Holy Spirit so that we can know your perfect peace.  Please help us to share that peace with others.  Amen.

That the Church in Africa, through the commitment of its members, may be the seed of unity among her peoples and a sign of hope for this continent.
