Reconciliation

Thank you to all the families who participated in last week’s parent/child formation reconciliation2.jpgevening. It was fabulous to hear how much the children had taken in during our retreat day and lovely to have meaningful discussions about reconciliation with you all.

If your child has not yet made their commitment at Mass please ensure you do this at one of this weekend’s parish masses. You must make sure you speak to the priest before Mass begins so they are prepared and can give you the card for use during the small ceremony.

All Saints Mass

1/2F have been busy preparing to lead us in Mass celebrating the Feast of All Saints and All Souls (just a little early). Families are invited to join us in St Michael’s Church from 9:30am tomorrow (Thursday 31st October) for this special Mass.

Extraordinary Mission Month

Pope Francis has declared this October an Extraordinary Mission Month. Catholic Mission has missionaries working in countries all around the world helping with food, education, health services and evangelisation. Learn more about their great work on their website: https://youtu.be/NgqfiddU78s

At St Michael’s we will hold a special Missionary Rosary Day this Friday, 1st November. There will be some special activities in each class exploring the importance of the Rosary in our faith tradition and the work of Catholic Mission around the world. Students are invited to come wearing plain clothes (uniform free) to celebrate and if possible, in the colours of the world as nominated below:
