Souper Hero Day – Friday 27 June

Calling all heroes... it's time to suit up for a cause!
On Friday 27 June (Week 9), St Bede’s is hosting Souper Hero Day! Students are invited to dress as their favourite superheroes and bring along a tin of soup to donate to the St Vincent de Paul Winter Appeal.
Every can collected will help warm the hearts (and bellies!) of those in need in our local community. Please check that donations have at least 6 months before expiry. Let’s be heroes of hope this winter—one tin at a time!

Yours in faith,

Prayer for Pentecost

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle them in the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created.
And You shall renew the face of the earth.
Amen.

Pentecost is a special time when we remember how the Holy Spirit came to Jesus' friends after He returned to Heaven. It filled them with courage to share God's love with others. We often call it the Church’s birthday, as it marks the beginning of the Church’s mission in the world. This year, Pentecost was celebrated on Sunday, June 8, 2025. It's observed 50 days after Easter Sunday and marks the moment when the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles, often referred to as the "birthday of the Church".
