Whole School Prayer Time

We look forward to 5/6FW’s Whole School Prayer Time

this Friday, 7 June. They will explore this term’s theme ‘Engage’ as we continue to unpack our year long focus on Growing with the Spirit.

First Communion

Our next preparation session is this Thursday, 6June, at St Monica’s School from 6:00pm. Parents and children will work together in this one hour session focusing on Eucharist as revealed through the story of the Feeding of the 5000. Participation in this evening is vital to preparation for First Communion.

If you have not already taken part in a commitment ritual at Mass please ensure you see Father Loi at this preparation evening. Thank you to those families who have already paid the $30 administrative fee for First Communion. If you have not done so yet could you please arrange to have this paid by 6th June.

Mini Vinnies 

On Friday 14June Mini Vinnies will be holding their ‘Winter Woolies’ day and hosting a ‘Stay Out’ again. Students are invited to come dressed in warm woollies for the day and bring donations of jumpers, scarves, gloves and blankets. The warm winter clothing will be donated to St Vincent de Paul Night Patrol for use with the homeless and poor in our city.

From 4:00pm Mini Vinnies will also host a ‘Stay Out’. Students are invited to come back to school between 4 – 8pm to share in some activities learning about homelessness and life for the poor in our community. We will have a visit from the Night Patrol van, make some food for them and have a small experience of what it is like to sleep outside. Dinner of hot pumpkin soup and a bread roll will be provided. Permission notes have gone home for the Stay Out and are available on the school website.
