RE in 5/6

Students in 5/6 continue to explore who Mary is and why she holds a special place in the Catholic Church. There was a deep discussion around images of Mary and why each of the pictures below hold elements of truth and elements of incorrect information about Jesus’ mother. I invite you to have a conversation in your family about your own image of Mary and why you see her this way.

Parish Sacramental Program – First Reconciliation

Last night we had the Sacrament of Reconciliation celebrated for the first time by some of our children in Year 3. It was a beautiful evening and the children are congratulated for their prayerful attitude. Thank you to the families who have helped prepare their children to experience God’s eternal love. Congratulations to:

Grandparents Day

What a beautiful day it was last Friday to celebrate Grandparent’s Day. Even the weather cooperated! Special thanks to Miss Frogley and Miss Lewis and all of 3/4 for their thoughtful preparation and leadership of the liturgy celebrating Grandparents. It was made particularly special to have such a huge turnout – the first time our church has been full for a school liturgy since COVID first disrupted our lives. Let us hope it is the start of a return to normal community celebrations.

Remembrance Day WSPT

Staff and students in 3/4 will once again lead us in prayer this Friday, 11/11, for our Remembrance Day Liturgy. This WSPT will be in the St Michael’s Church at 10:30. We will pause during the WSPT for a minute’s silence to remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in war. All families are most welcome to join us for the WSPT. A special invitation is extended to all Defence personnel.

Congratulations!

It was very exciting to see 5 new acolytes commissioned at Mass last weekend, including our own superstar Mum, Mrs Tanya Butler (mother to Isabella and past student Phillip). Thank you Tanya for your willingness to support our parish community with your service.
