Vinnies Christmas Hampers/Thanksgiving Mass

A reminder that items for Christmas Hampers are TOMORROW. Thank you to all families for your generosity which will help provide relief for many families in our local community. Hampers will be blessed and presented at our Thanksgiving Mass on Thursday the 5th. All are welcome to attend to mass 9:30am at St Michael’s Church.

Advent Liturgy

Last Friday we celebrated the beginning of the Advent season with our Advent Liturgy. It was a time to gather, pray and reflect on the weeks leading up to Christmas and how we can prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus. Fr Mick spoke to the students how they can all be the light of Jesus in the world by small acts of kindness which can have a ripple effect on others. Thank you to our Year 6 community leaders for assisting with the liturgy and to all those who came to celebrate with our school community.
