Calendar for the month
Dear Children,
Summer holidays are over. I really hope you had
fantastic holidays because you deserved after the
scholastic year.
Now we look forward to meet our friends at school and
at Catechism. I and your Catechists look forward to see
you once again on Wednesday 3rd October at 5.30pm.
We will start with Holy Mass. We pray that the Holy
Spirit will guide us to learn more about Jesus. After
mass your will meet your new Catechists in your
respective classrooms where you will also meet your
friends.
I am sure that you will enjoy the lessons that your
teachers have prepared for you throughout summer.
May Jesus bless you all.
Fr. Michael
Rector
National Shrine of Divine Mercy

Kiwi-Lime Ice Pops
INGREDIENTS
1 1/3 cups water 2/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon finely freshly grated lime zest 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1/3 cup lime juice 1 drop green food colouring, (optional) 2 kiwis, peeled and very thinly sliced
PREPARATION
1. Pour water into a small saucepan; add sugar, lime zest and ginger. Stir over high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
2. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve set over a bowl. Stir in lime juice and food colouring, if using.
3. Line 8 individual frozen-treat moulds or small (2-ounce) paper cups with slices of kiwi, pressing them onto the sides so they are close together but not overlapping. Fill each mould or cup with the lime mixture.
4. Freeze until beginning to set, about 1 hour. Insert frozen-treat sticks and freeze until completely firm. Dip the moulds briefly in hot water before unmolding.

Fold in half along the centre solid line, so you can still read the words.
Cut along the dotted line in the centre.

Child's Prayer for Parents
Almighty and most merciful God, who in
Thy infinite goodness has committed us
unto the charge of loving parents, who are
to watch over us and provide for all
our wants of body and soul, we pray Thee,
protect and prolong their life, that

and hold them in love and esteem;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord
Amen.
