Confirmation

This  term,  some of our Year 6 students will be preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation in the Catholic Church; Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation. When someone is confirmed, they are blessed with fullness of the Holy Spirit; it becomes a personal Pentecost. When confirmed, you receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit; Courage, Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Right Judgement, Reverence, and Wonder and Awe of God. These gifts help you to go out into the world and continue the mission of Jesus. Confirmation preparation is vital and happens at home, school, in the Parish and with the support of sponsor. Please keep all the Confirmation candidates in your prayers.

If your child is Catholic and you would like them to receive Confirmation, registrations have now been extended to the 28th of July via the QKR Parish app. For more information, including dates, please read the Parish Sacramental Program Information in the newsletter.  

 Winter Woolies Day

 On the 22nd of August this term we will be having a Winter Woolies Day in support of the Vinnies Winter Appeal. The day will involve a liturgy and workshops run by the staff of Saint Vincent dePaul to help educate students on homelessness. One of the ways we are asking families to support the day is by donations. Over the coming weeks, we ask that you go through your cupboards to see if you can put aside winter clothing and/or blankets. These donations will be much appreciated by the team at Vinnies and be distributed to those experiencing homelessness in our local community.

 If you would like more information about the Saint Vincent dePaul Society and how they support the community, please see website link below:
