I extend my best wishes to all parents/carers during this time of escalating uncertainty and again reassure everyone that I monitor all aspects of information relating to COVID -19 very closely. The school continues to follow current health advice and is well placed to implement changes if or when required. Please be assured that communication with you remains a priority. 

I thank all parents/carers for your ongoing cooperation with arrangements associated with the afternoon pick up of students. The recent adjustments of time and the adding of additional staff to support the process has improved the traffic flow and lessened traffic congestion in the area.

I encourage you take time to pray the following prayer and suggest that you call to mind all those who are significantly impacted by COVID-19. Also I ask that you pray for the people of Lebanon following the recent disaster in Beirut, a number of Nazareth families have been impacted.

Loving God,
You desire wholeness and well being for all Your people.

We hold in tenderness and prayer
the collective suffering of our world at this time.

We hold before You those whose lives have been lost and seek peace and healing for vulnerable lives that are threatened.
We pray for ourselves and our neighbours,
standing before an uncertain future.

Inspire our leaders to discern and decide wisely.
May all they choose be aligned with the common good.

Help us to love responsibly and ethically.

Reveal to us new and creative ways
to come together in spirit and in solidarity.

Call us to profound trust in your faithful presence,

May we, your servants,
be witnesses and examples for your redeeming love

We ask this through the Risen Christ, Amen

Take care and enjoy the week ahead.

Peter Dempsey

Principal
