Our Catholic Identity

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal 2021

St Joseph’s School ‘Gourmet Food Christmas Hamper’ raffle tickets will be sent home next week to raise money for the St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal. 

Your generosity and support will raise money for needy people in the community this Christmas. Your compassionate action and loving service for those in need are greatly appreciated as we walk together in the ‘truth and the light’ of our God. As a Catholic school, we advocate for, educate about, and raise funds for the St Vincent de Paul Society. 

On Friday 3 December, students are invited to wear Christmas Mufti to school and donate a ‘Gourmet Food Hamper Item'. These items will be made into Christmas Hampers and raffled the following Friday, December 10. Raffle tickets will be sent home next week (Week 7). 

2021 Sacramental Program

IMPORTANT CHANGE: 

With the easing of restrictions, the Year 3 students will now be able to celebrate the Sacrament of First Penance (Reconciliation) with Fr Patrick and Fr Richard this year, on Friday 19 November at 10:30am. 

Reminders have been forwarded to those with outstanding enrolments forms and payments. Please ensure all enrolment forms and payments have been sent to the school office by the end of the week if not already previously returned earlier in the year.

First Holy Communion (Postponed until 2022)

Thank you to everyone who has enrolled for First Holy Communion. Due to extended Covid 19 lockdown restrictions and in consultation with Fr Patrick (Parish), Sacramental dates for First Holy Communion have been postponed until 2022. Thank you for your patience, understanding and support. Thank you to the teachers and parents for preparing the students for this Sacrament.
