Friday 23 August 5M Class Assembly, 2.15pm, Junior School Hall There is an old story of a statue of Jesus found in World War I France in the ruins of a shelled Monday 26 August Church. The statue’s arms had been blown off and some passing trooper had slung a sign in ASC Basketball English around the neck. It read, ‘I have no hands but yours.’ So simple a statement, but such a deep theology. No hands but yours is a far cry from ‘putting yourself or your country first.’
May St Marcellin continue to watch over our boys and their families.
Yours sincerely

TACKLING YOUTH HOMELESSNESS FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION MASS AND TALK Members and friends of the Canberra Marist Association recently cast the spotlight on Youth Homelessness in our community. There was a wonderful blend of social, spiritual and service as we were challenged by the statistics and uplifted by the stories of hope shared by Therese Canty from St Vincent de Paul Society. Therese addressed the group about the growing number of young people who are forced to leave home and spend their lives precariously couch surfing or living on the street. She explained that charities face growing complications in finding emergency accommodation for vulnerable people, particularly for teenagers.
We were very grateful for the many people who provided freshly cooked meals, and also for Therese who generously shared her time and enthusiasm for making a real difference in the lives of young people in Canberra. Working together, we were able to package over 70 meals for the Community Meals freezer which support the parishes of Mary Help of Christians, Pearce and St Thomas the Apostle, Kambah. A number of people have expressed a desire to take part in this type of activity in the future. The Canberra Marist Association will endeavour to provide an opportunity to contribute to the Community Meals freezer at least once a semester. Staff and students are also planning to participate in a Vinnies Sleep Out later this year to raise money and awareness of this important issue in the Canberra community.
