Family and Faith

Kindergarten Tissues & Tea

On Thursday 1st February we welcomed our Kindergarten 2024 class and their families at StMM. Thank you to the Year 1 families who supplied the delicious morning tea for our Kindergarten Parents.  Welcome to our StMM family! In case you missed it, here is the link to the Sydney Catholic Schools article 'Kindergarten: 4 tips for a successful start'. 

Sydney Vinnies Brekky Van

Following the success of our contribution to the Sydney Vinnies Brekky Van in 2023, we will continue with this social outreach project in 2024. If you would like some additional information or to register your interest, please email me direct at lucille.gravina@syd.catholic.edu.au.

Playgroup 2024

Playgroup has resumed for 2024. It will continue each Tuesday morning from 9am - 10:30am. There is no need to register, just come along when you are free.. All are welcome. 

Ash Wednesday and Lent 2024

Can you believe that Lent is nearly upon us! This year I will be hosting a Lenten Group in the OLSH Parish Cloister Room. The idea is that each week during Lent we watch an Episode from Season 1 of The Chosen (each episode is between 45 mins and 1 hour long), followed by a debrief and coffee.. If this is something that could be of interest to you, please email me direct lucille.gravina@syd.catholic.edu.au

Students will next week come home with a '40 Crosses of Lent Calendar.' I encourage all students to use this calendar during this Lenten season as we journey together to Holy Week.  This 3 minute Busted Halo clip about LENT is a great summary about what this season is all about in our liturgical calendar.

International Women’s Day - Friday 8th March, 2024

The Women’s Well will be hosting an International Women’s Day Breakfast and panel of speakers for International Women’s Day at St Brigid’s Parish Hall in Coogee. Sounds like it will be a great event. It’s FREE to attend see the Family and Faith Noticeboard for more details or click on the link to register.
