Father’s Day

Father's Day is a special celebration honouring fathers, father figures, fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. This Sunday we will celebrate the fathers in our lives. We especially thank all the St Michael’s Dads for their love and support and ask God to bless them today and always.  We hope to see many of our fathers this Friday at the Father’s Day Liturgy. The liturgy will be at 9.15am and led by our Year 5/6 classes.

Father’s Day Prayer

We pray for all fathers, grandfathers, step-fathers, and fatherlike figures in our lives, may God bless them abundantly.

We pray for all the fathers who have passed, may we hold them in our memory and in our hearts and honor them today.

We pray for all those longing to become fathers, may You guide them through this hard time.

St. Joseph, may you intercede in the lives of all fathers struggling, and may you pray for them to draw near to God the Father.

We pray to the Lord,

AMEN

Questioning

Our Harmony Awards for weeks 7 and 8 will celebrate students who display our school key for learning; questioning. Questioning is a way of engaging in and strengthening our learning. It promotes critical thinking and is fundamental in communication. When we are curious about our environment, we ask questions and want to learn. We look forward to celebrating students who are inquisitive learners and actively seek new information.

 Confirmation

Tomorrow all Year 6 students will participate in a Confirmation Retreat Day. We will celebrate Mass and then spend the day participating in activities to enrich our understanding of the Holy Spirit.  Tomorrow night, candidates will be joined with their parents to attend a Parent/Child Formation Evening as part of their preparation to receive the Sacrament. Please keep candidates and their families in your thoughts and prayers as they will be confirmed this coming Tuesday the 5th of September.
