Prayers for the tsunami victims

 

The children at St John the Baptist School participated in a prayer service to remember the victims of the Boxing Day Tsunami on Friday, February 4, raising $370 for charity group Caritas Australia.

The children in Years 5 and 6 prepared the prayer service and organised children to carry frangipani flowers to decorate a prayer space within the grounds of the school. These flowers represented the many people affected by the tragedy.

Each class also wrote a prayer for the tsunami victims

All Catholic schools were encouraged to pray for the victims of the tsunami and to make a contribution to Caritas Australia, one of the many charity organisations that are offering assistance to those in need.
