Communion of Saints strand is the learning that is happening in classes for this term until Advent. Each class looks at and learns about different saints and inspiring people.  Mary is the top saint in our book!

Mary, the First Disciple is the best model of sainthood.
Mary challenges all Disciples of Christ to live the Gospel message in their personal lives and to challenge institutions and power structures that oppress people. Mary’s example can empower Christians to ensure that all people can obtain adequate food, shelter and health care; that they have opportunities for education and meaningful employment; that they have equal rights and a share in the decision-making process.
Mary’s openness to God, her fidelity in walking the journey of faith, and her concern that the justice of God will bring a restoration of dignity for the downtrodden, are as influential to the Church community as they were to the Saviour of the world whom she nurtured.
The Hail Mary is a special prayer that we can say to support the families and communities that have been devastated by the typhoon in the Philippines.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women
And Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
Amen
