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 always.  We hope to see many of our fathers this Friday following open classrooms at the Father’s Day Liturgy. The liturgy will be in St Michael’s Church followed by awards, led by our Year 5/6 classes.

Retreat Day Reminders

Next Thursday all Year 6 students will participate in a Retreat Day.  As part of the Retreat Day all students will write a response to their affirmation letter. If you are a parent or sponsor yet to send in a letter, please send it to school asap. A reminder that all non-sacramental students are asked to send in $5 to cover the catering for the day. The Retreat Day will be followed by a Parent Child Evening in St Michael’s Church for all Confirmation candidates and their families. Please continue to keep candidates in your thoughts and prayers as they will be confirmed Tuesday the 17th of September.

OLPH Youth Group

All Year 5 and 6 students are invited to join a new OLPH Youth Group. The group is based on 'Food, Faith and Fun' and is inclusive of all religions. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to make connections within our parish. The first meeting is this Friday the 30th of August at St Monica’s Parish Hall Evatt 6:30pm - 8pm. The cost is $5 per family which includes a meal, snack, and drinks. The group will be conducted by Youth Coordinators Aghil Babu and Geamila Raya. Please refer to the flier that was sent out on Compass for more information.

Fruits of the Holy Spirit - Gentleness

This term the students have explored the fruits of Kindness, Goodness and Faithfulness. This coming fortnight, they will begin exploring the fruit of Gentleness.  Gentleness is choosing to care for others with our words and actions. It is showing others that they are valued, respected and loved. Just like all the fruits, gentleness needs to be practiced and nurtured.  We pray that our students follow Jesus’ example and treat others with gentleness.
