Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. 

Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. 

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. 

Amen.

OCTOBER IS MISSION MONTH –  Socktober! 

Throughout "Socktober" 2021, students will be learning about, praying, advocating for and raising awareness to support vulnerable children in Thailand and around the world.

Thank you to everyone who participated in raising awareness last Friday by wearing 'crazy' and colourful socks to school. Students were also able to kick goals using soccer balls made from recycled plastics. Catholic Mission will be very happy to accept donations made by families.

October – Decade a Day 

Each day this week different grades have been taking turns to pray a decade of the Rosary for the month of October. You may even like to pray the Rosary in your own home. The Rosary helps us to see our human lives in the light of Christ. It is a prayer that can be prayed at any time; however its simplicity and repetition make the Rosary particularly helpful in life’s pauses, journeys and moments of waiting.
