Our Faith Community

Religious Education News                    

Term 4 at St Patrick’s continues to be filled with opportunities for students, parents, younger siblings & our extended community to come together in the spirit of our motto “To Love is to Serve.”

Senior Leadership - Mission Group

This week, our Mission Group led the school community through a reverent Remembrance Day ceremony.  We took time to learn about one of our family's connections to WW1, as Poppy spoke beautifully about her great-great-grandfather's bravery.  

In the coming weeks, the Mission Group will be spreading Christmas joy through the halls of Nazareth House during a visit.  The school choir members will also join us there after visiting Bill Crawford Lodge earlier in the week.

We will be inviting parents and grandparents to join us for our annual Advent Family Activity afternoon on Friday, the 28th of November (Week 8). Please come along and share in the fun.

As we make our way towards Advent, November beckons us to hold off on the Christmas preparations, to take time to remember those who have gone before us. All Saints Day and All Souls Day have passed quietly.  Remembrance Day has also allowed us to reflect and recognise the peace and safety that we enjoy.  May we take some quiet time to feel gratitude and maybe say a prayer for others who are not so lucky.

God bless,

Kathy Finn
