Catholic Identity
St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal
It’s that time of the year again where we begin organising hampers of gourmet items for the St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal and Christmas Concert Raffle. Raffle tickets will be handed out to students tomorrow Friday 22 November 2024 with more information attached. Students and families are encouraged to sell as many raffle tickets as possible!
On Wednesday 4 December, students are invited to wear Christmas themed mufti clothes, instead of their regular school uniform, and bring in a gourmet food item to contribute to the hampers. All money raised from the hampers goes directly to St Vincent De Paul, helping our most vulnerable community members at Christmas. Raffle winners are drawn at the Annual St Joseph’s Christmas Concert. We thank families for their ongoing support and generosity in supporting St Vincent De Paul.
The Annual St Joseph’s Christmas Concert will be held on Wednesday 11 December 2024. The P&F will be holding a free Sausage Sizzle at 5.00 pm with our Christmas Concert starting at 5.45 pm. All families are warmly invited to attend.
Catholic Mission Month
The Theme for Catholic Mission Month is ‘Go and Invite Everyone to the Banquet’. This term students have been learning about issues of mission and justice in Religious Education lessons. Students are empowered to contribute to God’s mission in the world by supporting the work of ‘Catholic Mission’ through prayer, advocacy, and action.
During Catholic Mission Month (October) SJB school community have been working together to ‘Sockit to Poverty’. On Friday 8 November students were invited to wear crazy socks to school with their school uniform and donate gold coins to Catholic Mission. On this day students participated in ‘Kicking Goals for Good’ soccer activities. As a school community we were able to raise $603.00.
Thank you for your amazing generosity and support of Catholic Mission 2024!
