Dear
Parents / Caregivers
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou
What
a wonderful event the kapahaka festival at Hato Paora
turned out to be last Thursday. Our students put on a
stunning performance and I thank them for showing their
commitment to our school. Thank you too parents for your
wonderful support.
Lots of sick children and staff at present. Hope things
get back to rights soon and all get well.
Enjoy
your week, Jacinta Cousins,
Principal
"
Faithfulness "
Faithfulness
is being true to someone or something.
It is holding on to what you believe is important
no matter what happens. Faithfulness
is commitment.
When you are faithful,
such as a belief in God, honesty or friendship,
others can see your values in the way you
act.
You ‘walk the talk’.
When you are faithful,
you make your ideals real.
“Be
faithful till death, and I will give you the
crown of life”

Congratulations!
Our
readings today focus on the presence of Christ
in the Eucharist. The Gospel proclaims that Christ
himself is our life. It is he who satisfies our
hunger and thirst. He chose to make this concept
reality in bread and wine. Jesus invites us to
share his body and blood, which in Hebrew are
symbols of person and life. In these symbols we
encounter the living Lord, ever present to us.
To share in his life, to be one with him, is to
live forever.
