This week in Mini Vinnies, we learned about loneliness and what it means to feel alone when we do not want to be. We talked about how people can sometimes feel lonely even when they are with others, and why it is important to notice these feelings and respond with kindness. This helped us understand how we can follow Jesus by showing compassion and care for everyone.

We thought about who might feel lonely in our school, parish and local community. We planned a coffee morning in our church hall to bring people together and to reach out a hand of friendship.
