Students have made connections with these sacraments and changes in people’s lives.
Religious Life of St Michael’s School Community
St Vincent de Paul Winter Woolies Day and Stay Out
Thank you so much for the support last week for our Winter Woolies Day and then the Stay Out. St Vincent de Paul were very grateful for all the donations of warm clothing and blankets. We also raised $800 which will be used to directly support people in our own Canberra community affected by poverty. Thank you very much. Special thanks to our soup heroes for the evening, Emma Bickley, Esther Coghlan and Kate Cox.
Youth Mass – Date Correction
Youth Mass this month is on Sunday 27th June. Apologies for the incorrect advertisement last week. This is celebrated at the 5:30pm Mass at St Michael’s each month. Following Mass there are games and food for the young people. See you there hopefully!
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Feast Day
The feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (our parish patron) is June 27. As a parish, the two schools within it (St Michael’s and St Monica’s Primary Schools) will hold simultaneous days of celebration on Friday 25th June as the last day of Term Two. Due to ongoing COVID restrictions we are still unable to come together as the two schools but will hold these celebrations in our own school contexts. At St Michael’s from 9:00 – 12:30 students will be involved in multi-age groups participating in a range of prayer, reflective, physical and creative activities organised by the teaching staff. We will hold a special prayer liturgy at St Michael’s Church at 1:00pm to which families are all invited. Students will spend some time back in their own classes after lunch. Please be sure to let your child’s teacher know if you intend to take them early after the liturgy and sign them out at the Front Office.
