CELEBRATING OUR FAITH 

Grandparents Day & Feast Day Mass – Friday 1 August

This Friday 1 August, our school community will gather to celebrate a special Mass at 9:30am at Sacred Heart Church in honour of Saint Alphonsus Liguori and the Feast of Saints Anne and Joachim, the grandparents of Jesus. The Mass will be led by 5B, and we warmly invite all families and grandparents to join us as we give thanks for the gift of faith and the special role grandparents play in our lives.

Following Mass, grandparents are invited to Holy Trinity School at 2:00pm for Open Classrooms, where they can visit their grandchildren’s learning spaces and share in their school experiences. At 2:30pm, families and grandparents can go and view the Art Show and enjoy a cup of tea together.

We look forward to celebrating this beautiful day of faith, family, and creativity with you all.
