OUR FAITH

PRAYER 

Dear God,

During this Lenten season help us to keep our eyes on Jesus. Help us to spend more time talking and listening to you. Help us to share what we have with others and be truly sorry for time we have done wrong.

Amen.

We pray ... 

for.....our school community as we continue to pray, give and reflect on our words and actions through the season of Lent.

LITURGY NEWS

Next Wednesday Year 6 students will have the opportunity to attend Reconciliation and Year 3 will have a class visit with Fr John McHugh.

Family Masses

Our Family Masses have become an important part of our School culture and these are usually held on the first Sunday of every month of the school term. 

Therefore our first Family Masses for this term will be held on Sunday 3rd March (Kindergarten and Yr 6) and Sunday 7th April (Yr 1 and Yr 5) at St Nicholas Church at 9.30a.m. 

These Masses are an opportunity for our School community to come together with our Parish Community to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word and to share a ‘cuppa ‘and morning tea afterwards. 

SACRAMENTS

This year our Year 3 and Year 6 baptised Catholic students will be involved in Sacramental Programs for Reconciliation, First Holy Communion and Confirmation respectively. These are important events in the life of our students, School and Parish and we look forward to sharing these occasions with our students. For new students enrolling at St Nicholas in 2024, if there is a Sacrament that they have missed receiving please contact Mrs Dunst as soon as possible  rdunst@arm.catholic.edu.au
