SPAR - Stop. Pause. And. Reflect
SPAR will be a time for parents once a month to stop and breathe and practice ways to pray and give us time to reflect/discuss topics that affect us as parents. Our first theme for June will be Gratitude. How do we practice gratitude and why? All welcome! You do not have to be Catholic to attend. Just come as you are.

Confirmation Candles
Last Saturday parents gathered to decorate Confirmation Candles, which they will gift to their child on the day they make their Sacrament of Confirmation. The results were beautiful because they were made with love!
Thank you to our Anne, our Parents Engagement Coordinator for organising such a memorable afternoon and thank you to all the parents who joined us! We hope to do more gifts of love for future Sacraments.
