Surprise Gifts

A kind gentleman has donated an illustrated children’s bible for each child at St Michael’s. This amazingly generous gift comes from an anonymous benefactor who was moved through prayer to provide these for all of our children. These will be sent home this Friday.  As a school we are preparing a token of our thanks for these beautiful children’s bibles. 

Reconciliation

A reminder that our Parent/Child session is this evening, Thursday, 8^th November from 6:00pm. We will meet in St Monica’s School. We aim to conclude by 7:00pm, mindful of bedtimes for the children involved. Please remember involvement in this session is a very important part of preparation for your child’s First Reconciliation and we will be creating symbols for use during the Reconciliation rituals and displays at our group celebrations of the sacrament.

Retreat Day for all children in Year 3 will be on Friday 16^th November at St Monica’s School Hall. St Michael’s Year 3 children will travel by bus to and from this retreat. Our bus will leave St Michael’s at approximately 9:15am. Children will be engaged in Retreat activities until 1:00pm and then return in time for lunch back at St Michael’s. All students will need to take their morning tea and water bottle in a small bag with their name on it. 

All Saints Day Mass

Thank you to 5/6B and Mrs Blakey for all your hard work preparing Mass for us last Thursday. It was a beautiful Mass focusing on all the saints, known and unknown. We continue to pray throughout November for all those who now rest at peace with God.

Whole School Prayer Time

A reminder that 1/2F will lead the Whole School Prayer Time tomorrow afternoon, from 2:15 in St Michael’s Church. We will be focusing on honouring soldiers who have died in the service of their country as we prepare for Remembrance Day.
