Philippines Independence Day

Today we celebrated Independence Day in the Philippines with all our Filipino students.

We formed a circle around the chalked Filipino flag, prayed a prayer in English and the 2 Filipino languages of our school, then enjoyed a bbq together for lunch.  Thanks very much to Mr French and Mr Currie for barbecuing our sausages on such a beautiful sunny day!



Prayer:  Loving God of Justice and Peace
We remember that today is Independence Day in the Philippines.

We are blessed to have so many students and families from this beautiful culture here at Sacred Heart.

We pray for our Filipino families in Christchurch and New Zealand.

May they feel the love and support from all of us here at Sacred Heart and from the communities they live in.

We pray for those in authority in the Philippines, that they will be guided to lead the country in the values we hold dear - Peace, Love and Justice.


Amen
