St Mary's Faith & Family
Religious Education News This year our school theme has been taken from the Book of Psalms and based on Psalm 42.
At 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month each year we remember the moment in 1918 when World War I came to an end. On Remembrance Day, we remember Australian men and women who have served in war and peacekeeping activities. On Monday November 11th our Grade 4, 5 & 6 students will lead us in a Remembrance Day liturgy. We continue to pray for peace in our world.
On Sunday November 17th, Quinn, Akul, Sullivan, Adam, Charlotte and Samuel celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation. We pray that they will be blessed with the Gifts and Fruit of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
I invite you to keep the following dates in mind as opportunities to participate in the faith life of our school and parish. St Mary’s Parish, Castlemaine current newsletter can be found here.
