Desiderata, by American writer Max Ehrmann (1872-1945). Largely unknown during his lifetime, Desiderata was first publically distributed in 1956 by Reverend Frederick Kates, rector of Saint Paul's Church in Baltimore, Maryland. It was part of a compilation of devotional materials for his congregation. It was then mass distributed in poster form during the 1970's!

Sports ReportHockey:2XI Last week’s game was a pleasure to watch as the girls worked together and also showed great leadership, to support each other, although a tough defeat by Baradene. Thanks so much to Gabby for being goalie.
Year 7 & 8 Won their game with Roskill Eden Whineray, 1-0, all the girls played extremely well. Great stuff!
Waterpolo:Year 7 & 8First competition game for the season and they played really well as a team. They put into practice everything the coaches asked them to do. It was great to start the season on a win 13-1 against Baradene.
Netball:First week of competition for all teams, mix of results, the games are great to watch – some really close games now that grading is complete.MARIST TEAM (VS) OPPONENT SCORE

Homestay Host Families Needed
Hail MaryIn the Catholic calendar the month of May is dedicated to Mary, "Theotokos",
God-bearer or the mother of God. This custom arose at the end of the 13th century and continues to this day. During this month Catholics take the time to contemplate
on Mary’s faith-filled life and her humble confidence in God’s loving plan for her. Here is a reflection to help you with your own Marian prayer journey.
Gentle MaryGentle Mary, we pray…For hearts of courage
that we may accept the will of God.
Attentive Mary, we pray…For hearts of wisdom,
that we may hear the Word of Godand respond to it in our lives.
Compassionate Mary, we pray…For hearts of love that we may actin a spirit of charity and service.
Mother Mary, we pray…For hearts of discipleship that we may
be led to live in God’s ways.
Caring CommitteeMeals & baking needed & appreciated
