Jubilee Year 2025

In week 1 of term 4, our parish and school will be hosting the Southern deanery Jubilee Mass on Wednesday 15th October. 2025 is a Jubilee Year, a special time in the church for prayer & renewal. The theme of this year is Pilgrims of Hope.

This special Mass will be attended by our primary students along with priests, principals and student representatives from Catholic Schools in Tamworth, Barraba, Manilla, Gunnedah & Boggabri. At this mass the students will be able to see the miniature scaled down version of the Cathedral in Armidale. A cathedral is a special church where a bishop leads the community. It is often large and beautiful, filled with amazing artwork and decorations. It is the main church in our Armidale Diocese.

I encourage you to read the Jubilee Prayer.

Reaching Out to Help Others

This term we focus on helping students from our Parish Priest, Father Kingsley’s home in Africa. Father Kingsley grew up in Owerri, a city in Nigeria. Each year when father returns home to visit his family he tries to bring something practical to help the poor. So we are asking that our students bring stationery items suitable for a primary school student in Nigeria eg coloured pencils, textas, crayons, small notebooks, rubbers, sharpeners or colouring books.  Each class will have a container that they can add to any time during this term. Thank you in advance because I know our community will be very generous.
