Nativity (birth) of Our Lady Nativity (birth) of Our Lady
08/09/2024
This is the day the Catholic Church marks the birth of Mary, the mother of Jesus - Our Lady. St. Julie had such a devotion to Our Lady that she named the order of nuns she founded the Sisters of Notre Dame! Notre Dame is, of course, French for Our Lady.
It's a perfect day to sing Happy Birthday - and also to say the Hail Mary! CLICK HERE to join in with the video doing just that!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:24 video)
Let's spend a few moments thinking about those who walk alongside us as we learn.
Let's give thanks for their patience,
for their consistency,
for their compassion,
for not giving up on us,
for believing in us,
for recognising our potential,
for the time they put in,
for the efforts they make,
for their encouragement,
for their advice,
for their sheer humanity which models for ushow wonderful every human being is.
Loving God, we place our Teaching Assistants
and all who support us in your hands.
Help us to show we appreciate them
by what we say and what we do.
St. Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless us.
