Monday Mission Assembly
Mrs Horan led an inspiring assembly exploring the meaning of Community, drawing thoughtful responses from children who recognised it as a gathering of people and groups of individuals working together for the common good. The assembly highlighted several key ways to support our community:
- Active listening
- Prayer
- Working together for peace
- Showing respect
Mrs Horan connected these concepts to Jesus's universal mission, emphasising how each of us is called to share God's love. She referenced Pope Francis's message about extending this love globally, reinforcing it with John Chapter 13, verses 34-35, which teaches us to 'love one another'. This love is reached through acts of kindness, sharing and demonstrating care for others.
The assembly took on a global perspective when discussing Mission Together - an initiative helping children worldwide who live in poverty. Mrs Horan suggested that support can come through prayer; thoughtful consideration of others' needs and active engagement in helping those less fortunate. She concluded by challenging the school community to consider their mission for the week ahead, encouraging the children to think both locally and globally about their role in building a better world through love, prayer and action.
