Religious Life of St Michael’s

Advent

Next week marks the third week of the season of Advent in our Church calendar. In the third week of Advent, we light two purple candles, as well as the pink candle, the candle of joy (also known as the Shepherd’s candle).

Thank you to 1/2 for their second beautiful WSPT on Monday! We will continue to have special Advent liturgies. Kindergarten are busily preparing the third and fourth of our Advent Celebrations.

Advent 3 will be on Monday 12th December in the courtyard at 9:00am, weather permitting.

Advent 4 will be on Thursday 15th December in the hall at 9:00am.

All are welcome to join us for either celebration.

Graduation Liturgy & Dinner

Next Tuesday evening (13th December) we have the Year 6 Graduation Liturgy and Dinner from 5:30pm. The Graduation Liturgy will be in St Michael’s Church at 5:30pm followed by formalities and dinner at The Clubhouse Kaleen at 6:15pm.

Leadership Ceremony

The handing over of leadership from Year 6 to next year’s leaders will be on Thursday 15th December. This is an incredibly special blessing of both our current and future Year 6 Leaders. Parents of both Year 5 & 6 students are welcome to join. This will take place from 9am in the hall following our fourth Advent WSPT.

A special thanks!

A special thank you to Tanya Butler who generously gave up her time to stitch some new and improved cloths for us to use for our upcoming and future Graduation Liturgies. Your time and dedication is much appreciated!

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Hamper Appeal

We ask that all items be sent in to school by tomorrow, Thursday 8th December 2022. We thank you for your support of the parish St Vincent de Paul team and this wonderful Advent initiative.

Each class was given a list of items to make a food hamper for a family in need. In your child’s class, each child will be asked to donate an item of food from this list to bring to school and place in the class St Vincent de Paul hamper basket. The completed class hamper will contain the goodies required for a family to enjoy a Christmas meal.

Our Giving Mass will be held on Tuesday 13th December at 9:30am. All are welcome to join.
