Parent Updates
Dear Parents and Carers,
I am writing to share our collective sadness regarding the recent passing of Pope Francis, our leader whose compassion and dedication touched the lives of many around the world.
As a school community, we feel a profound sense of loss. Pope Francis’s messages of love, unity, and care for one another and our planet resonated deeply, inspiring us all to live out these values in our daily lives. His humility and faith were a guiding light, encouraging us to be compassionate and serve those around us. His passions guided us at St John Bosco in much of what we do.
In light of this, we would like to invite families to join us in prayer for Pope Francis and reflect on the lessons he imparted throughout his life. As we continue our journey together, let us honor his memory by fostering kindness and understanding within our school community.
Heavenly Father,
Let us pause to remember Pope Francis, a man of great faith and compassion. We are grateful for his leadership and the way he inspired us to love, serve, and care for one another and our world.
Lord, welcome him into Your eternal light and grant him peace. May we carry forward his legacy by embodying his teachings of kindness, humility, and mercy in our own lives. Help us to be voices of hope and instruments of change in our communities, just as he encouraged us to be.
As we face challenges of our own, remind us to seek wisdom and compassion in every situation. Strengthen our hearts to follow the path of love and understanding.
In Your holy name, we pray.
Amen.
In this Jubilee Year, Pope Francis encouraged us to become pilgrims of hope—a message that resonates even more profoundly now. As we return to school, let us continue to embrace hope, be open-hearted towards others and spread kindness.
Thank you for your support, and please feel free to reach out if you would like to share any thoughts during this time, we have opened a book of condolence which is in our reception area. Please come and sign our book this week, we would love you to be part of our reflections.
With love and prayers,
Mrs Pearson
