Volume 19 - 17 June, 2014 Dear Parents & Students Having recently celebrated Pentecost Sunday (8 June) I offer this reflection on the Breath of God.

“Hildegard of Bingen, caught up in the Holy Spirit, wrote, “I am a feather on the breath of God.” Conscious of the breath of God within us and around us, we can with confidence set out on the road to God knowing that it may be rocky but that it is at the same time well lit, brightly marked, wholly traversable because the Holy Spirit makes the path with us. We have not been left alone. Under the impulse of the Spirit, we are guided and safe. The Descent of the Holy Spirit is the call to be abandoned to the will of God. It is a call to risk the consequences of God’s love, here and now.” - From In Search of Belief (Liguori) and in Pursuit of Peace (Benetvision)

SRC WALK-A-THON – MONDAY 23 JUNE I commend to you the efforts of the Student Representative Council in raising both awareness and funds in support of PROJECT FUTURES, a non-profit organisation that works to create an empowered world where every person can take action against human trafficking and exploitation. The students request financial support from the community as they walk to make a difference. Donations can be made at: http://projectfutures-cfs.gofundraise.com/au/page/LoretoCollege In anticipation, I thank you for your support. CONGRATULATIONS 
