“That which is Christ‐like within us shall be crucified. It shall suffer and be broken. And
that which is Christ‐like within us shall rise up. It shall love and create”. Michael Leunig As we carry the burdens of our humanity; experiencing disappointment, fear, regret, anguish and hardship, we look to the story of the resurrec on, believing in hope and freedom and in the power of God’s restoring love. As our unusually long term draws to a close, let us give thanks for the many successes and moments of joy we have each experienced. In the context of a complex and at mes confusing world let us rejoice in life’s simple pleasures and in the holiness of the ordinary everyday moments of grace. Amen.
STAFF NEWS May I take this opportunity to express our thanks and gra tude to both Mrs Margaret Dowling and Ms Jessica Badke for their me spent with us this term and to wish them well for the future. We also send best wishes to Mr Bill Kenny who is about to embark on long service leave for a period of rest, renewal and refreshment. We wish him joy and relaxa on in the months ahead. We offer special hear elt thanks also to Mrs Moya Hickey as she re res from her role as the Loreto Archivist. Mrs Hickey has given her love and commitment to this role for the past nine years and before that, as many of you would remember, Mrs Hickey held the role of Deputy Principal and teacher for more than 30 years. Her contribu on to the life and the heart of Loreto Coorparoo can never be overstated. Our debt of gra tude to her will be for always. P & F GALA DINNER DANCE It is with a sense of some excitement I warmly encourage you to “BLING IT ON” at the Loreto Gala Dinner Dance on May 28th. As a community of Loreto parents (and friends) this is a wonderful opportunity for us to ‘connect’ and to enjoy each other’s company in the context of a fun and felicitous evening. I am reliably informed that this is not an annual event so, in some ways, this makes it even more special. Opportuni es such as this are rare, so let’s make the most of this chance to celebrate that Lore an spirit of felicity in ac on. I look forward to seeing you there. (see flyer a ached for details) PS: Prize dona ons for the raffle are most welcome. Please contact Libby Oliver on 3394 9999 if you have a prize you can donate.
