 Confirmation Parent Formation Evening

This Thursday evening parents of students preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation will gather in St Michael’s Church at 6pm. We pray that our candidates and their families will be truly blessed by the intervention of the Holy Spirit during this special time of preparation. Thank you to everyone involved, particularly Fr. Mick and the Parish Team, Emily O’Rourke and the Year 5/6 teachers.

Trivia Night (Adults Only)

We are looking forward to an evening of fun and laughter on Thursday August 8 in St Michael’s Hall. Can you donate any prizes or are able to assist the working group? Funds raised will go towards a load of chip bark for our Junior playground and new bubblers.
