St Paul’s Catholic College, Greystanes senior students volunteered their time to learn about what it is like to give unconditionally to others through the school’s Works of Mercy Program (WOMP)
At the end of Term 1, Year 12 Co-ordinator David McMinn took a group of Year 11 students to Youth off the Streets in Canley Vale.
“The boys had a great time. They played pool, table tennis, PS4 games, competed in little challenges as well, both physical and mental challenges,’’ Mr McMinn said.
“The students learn to mix with other young people from different communities. It helps them realise we are all the same.”
The program invites students to volunteer their time at either Youth off the Streets, nursing homes, Westmead Children’s Hospital and even help out with the Vinnies Van.
"I think the program is a great thing for the young men to engage in,” Mr McKinn said.
"Schooling is not just about academics. I obviously want my students to do their best academically, but the type of young men they continue to grow into is the most important element in their education.”

On this Divine Mercy Sunday, we are reminded that God's mercy knows no limits ππ. No sin is too great, and no distance is too far for His love to reach π.Today, as we celebrate the Second Sunday of Easter, we honor the devotion to Divine Mercy, given to us by St. Faustina Kowalska, who received visions of Jesus and was entrusted with the mission of spreading His message of mercy π«β¨.Through this devotion, Jesus promises the faithful total forgiveness of sins and punishment if they go to confession and receive communion today ππ. The Church also grants a plenary indulgence to those who follow the prayers and rules for the day π. Promoted by Pope St. John Paul II, Divine Mercy Sunday was officially recognized in 2000 as a feast of mercy and grace π. Chaplet Prayer:οΏ½"Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen." ππ "Jesus, I trust in You." βοΈ #SPCC
