RE News - Melanie Stratford
Welcome to 2025. This year our focus theme is ‘Opening Our Hearts to the Holy Spirit’. Our theme builds on flourishing in the footsteps of St Monica and calls all of us to open our hearts to the Holy Spirit so that we can be who we were created for in our relationships with ourselves, others, God and our surroundings. Our focus scripture in 2025 is John 14:15-16,23-26 “The Holy Spirit will teach you everything.”
Last Thursday all St Monica’s staff spent the day exploring our theme in a full day Spirituality Day Retreat at the Australian National Botanic Gardens where we explored scripture from Acts and John and shared a meal in fellowship.
You are invited to our join our community as we begin our journey in Opening Our Hearts to the Holy Spirit as a whole community at our Opening School Mass tomorrow at 9.10am in St Monica’s Church.
