Eucharist

On Sunday, St Michael’s students received the Sacrament of Eucharist for the first time. During mass, we heard Matthew’s Gospel about Jesus sending out the apostles to continue His mission. Our Eucharist candidates have also accepted the challenge of continuing Jesus’ work; being apostles of Jesus. By receiving Jesus in the Eucharist, they are committing to follow in His footsteps being Eucharistic people. We congratulate Annika, Ned, Allegra, Thomas, Evie, Lucas, Dominic and Adeline.

 Thank you to all involved in preparing the students including families, Mrs Blakey and Miss O’Rourke. A special thanks to Fr Mick who spent much time with the candidates during their preparation. We are very blessed to have a parish priest so dedicated to ensuring the students are aware of the importance of this event in their lives.

 Our Lady of Perpetual Help Feast Day

Mother Mary, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, after which our parish is named, is known for miracles and answers to prayers. Next Tuesday the 27th of June, we will join with St Monica’s School to celebrate the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Feast Day as a Parish community. K-2 students will stay at St Michael’s and be joined by K-2 from St Monica’s. All 3-6 St Michael’s students will gather at St Monica’s.

Students at both schools will celebrate liturgy and participate in activities to deepen their knowledge of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. All parents are warmly invited to attend the liturgy at St Michael’s at 10:15am in the church.

A Compass message has been sent with all the details. Please ensure if you have a child in Years 3-6 that you consent permission online and pack fruit/recess in a disposable bag which is clearly labeled. The day will conclude around 1:15pm and students will have a normal lunch and afternoon session back in their classes.  Please note that all students are to wear their full Sports Uniform on the day.  We look forward to a wonderful day as a Parish community.
