Pope Francis continually reminds us of the importance of moving out of our comfort zone and serving others.  "Love and charity are service, helping others, serving others.  There are many people who spend their lives in this way, in the service of others.  When you forget yourself and think of others, this is love".  St Clare's staff and students certainly moved out of their comfort zone when volunteering at the Community Kitchen.  They experienced firsthand how to prepare and serve a nutritious meal to those in need in the community.  They organised over 50 packs of tea, coffee, sugar and UHT milk for the diners who were very appreciative.  Portia Chaplin-Ferguson, Lin Zhao LimSchneider, Aidan Armitage and Brady Gogerly, together with Mr Morson, engaged in cheerful conversation with the diners putting them at ease and showing them that the youth of today are aware of the needs others in the community and are prepared to respond to the needs.  Congratulations to staff and students at St Clare's it was a pleasure working with you.
