Dear Staff & Pupils,
On behalf of Sister Lucy, thank you all so much for your wonderful gifts of Food items, Toiletries, Sleeping Bags, Torches and so much more, incredible the amount of good things you have blessed us with.
This is a real blessing for so many homeless and needy people, thank you all so much.
Girls, boys you certainly have earned a school holiday. Thank you for all the hard work you all did, and too for such a great variety of goods that we really needed. You have made so many people here really very happy and feeling good about themselves because you all cared enough to give.
You are wonderful young people, and a credit to your school. Bless you all!
A word of thanks also to your teachers, parents and guardians, everyone who supported and encouraged you. God Bless and reward all who gave so willingly and generously.
This comes with our gratitude and every good wish for a truly Happy and Blessed Christmas and New Year. Shalom.
Sincerely in Christ. Sr. Maria, fmsj
