21.01.2022 33 DAY NOVENE TO St JOSEPH DAY 14: Blessed Saint Joseph, patron of all unborn children, pray for us. You were confronted with the most unexpected pregnancy of all time. By the gift of faith and with complete trust in God, you accepted the awesome challenge of being a foster father, a husband and a guardian to the Most Holy Family. No man, except you, could possibly give better example of how a man should respond to an unexpected pregnancy. Through your example of faith an...d belief, an expectant mother, your beloved wife, Mary, brought a new life into this world. That new life was The Light of the World, God incarnate. May you be the example for all men of this world who face an unexpected pregnancy. May all men accept that every baby is a singular and most precious gift from God and have the courage to choose life for their child and love for the mother. Amen.

As you can see from the photos, faith in action can be so much fun. A big thank you to the fun-loving, faith-filled teachers at Xavier who put the bodies on the line for the cause Being fun-loving himself, Pope Francis would be very pleased. As the year 5 Gold team leaders wrote: At Xavier Catholic school we participated in a fundraiser called Socktober for the children of Cambodia for Catholic Mission. We made soccer balls out of art shirts, tape, plastic bags and foam, like the kids in Cambodia who can’t buy soccer balls. We learnt the purpose of Socktober and it’s all about the children in need. At recess and lunch we used our time for a kickathon with the whole school participating. In at the end we raised a total of $400+ . We got the teachers to be the goalies, we had our own jobs such as ball fetchers, money people and score/people writers. With the gold coin donation to wear crazy socks for the day, the school raised over $600 for Catholic Mission Should you like to know more about Catholic Mission’s Socktober programme for your school, contact Judith at [email protected] Catholic Mission - Perth
