PRINCIPALS MESSAGE
Message from Mr Dempsey:
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the many people who have offered their kind words and prayers during the time of my wife’s illness. Melanie is now doing well, her strength is building each day and she is making good progress with her recovery. I also wish to thank Lisa Tyson as Acting Principal and Jodi Marsh as Acting Assistant Principal for their excellent work during my time of Leave. I was at Nazareth this morning for a brief time and it was great to see the students, staff members and a number of parents in the playground. My Leave will be finishing at the end of this week and I will be back at Nazareth next Monday. I look forward to the last half of Term 4 and the significant events that are planned as we move towards the end of the year.

Dear Families,
This week I thought I would share a Prayer for rain and those affected. The prayer comes from the Catholic bishops of Australia National Prayer Campaign for the gift of rain during November.
Eternal God,
In wisdom and love you created our earth to sustain us and give us life.
We turn to you now in faith, hope and love, asking you to look with favour on our drought-stricken land, on our starving animals and failing crops.Strengthen, sustain and give new heart to our farmers and all who are affected by drought.In your loving providence, send abundant rain and restore our parched earth. Father of all compassion, hear our prayer through Jesus Christ your Son, in whom the promise of new life has dawned, and through the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life: Renew your faithful people, renew the faith of the earth.
Our lady of the Southern Cross, Mary, help of Christians
Pray for us
St Mary of the Cross MacKillop

Enjoy the week ahead,
Lisa Tyson
Acting Principal
