1 ALL SAINTS SCHOOL Phone Fax REFLECTION Father in heaven, all creation rightly gives you praise, for all life and all holiness come from you. In the plan of your wisdom she who bore the Christ in her womb was raised body and soul in glory to be with him in heaven. May we follow her example in reflecting your holiness and join in her hymn of endless love and praise. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. PRINCIPAL S REPORT To the wonderful All Saints community, Are you losing sleep trying to watch the amazing endeavours of our Olympians? For me, I enjoy following the Aussies competing in the swimming, cycling in the velodrome and the team sports of basketball, rugby, soccer and hockey. Their commitment, dedication and determination are things that I find very inspiring. THANK YOU!!

During Friday s assembly stars were then pulled from the boxes. Winning students were then rewarded with a tuckshop voucher. The more times a student has

2 their name in the box, the greater their chance of receiving the weekly prize.

Shane Seymour Principal APRE REPORT Assembly Last Friday, our Term 3 Student Council led the assembly. On Tuesday morning, the Student Council did an excellent job in assisting with the Mary MacKillop liturgy. Thank you and well done students. Confirmation Children are asked to attend one of this weekend s Masses (13/14 August). Could children please let Father Peter know they are there prior to Mass starting as during Mass, the Confirmation candidates will be asked to come forward and stand in front of the altar to receive the Creed. The practice for the Rite of Confirmation is on Tuesday 16 August at 6pm in the Church. All candidates are asked to be there to see where they will be sitting, get readings and to run through the ceremony. Sponsors are not required for the practice. The Confirmation ceremony will take place at 7pm on Thursday 18 August. Bishop Brian Finnegan will confirm the children at this time. Feast of the Assumption Monday is the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. From the Catholic Encyclopedia comes this definition: this feast has a double object: (1) the departure of Mary from this life; (2) the assumption of her body into heaven. It is the principal feast of the Blessed Virgin. The doctrine of the Assumption says that at the end of her life on earth Mary was assumed, body and soul, into heaven. It s also necessary to keep in mind what the Assumption is about. Mary did not ascend into heaven. Christ, by his own power, ascended into heaven. Mary was assumed or taken up into heaven by God. She didn t do it under her own power. Monday is a holy day of obligation. Mass is at 7am in Boonah and 6.30pm in Peak Crossing. Glossary continued Blessing - When God blesses, he passes on life, strength and peace to his people. When we bless someone, we pray that God will give life, strength and happiness to that person. Body of Christ - The term refers to: 1. The human body of Jesus, 2. The sacrament of the real presence of Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread and wine, 3. All Christians who are united with Christ through baptism and as one body when their minds and hearts are in harmony with Jesus Christ. Just a thought... If you are living like there is no God, you d better make sure you re right.
