Sacramental Dates 2025
We have had some enquiries from families about our Sacramental dates for 2025.
Over the next couple of weeks, we will be meeting with the schools in our Parish to decide and confirm these dates.
Once this has been confirmed we will let families know.
Parish Mass
Tomorrow, we celebrate Parish Mass with our Year 2 students. Please join us at 12pm in our Sacred Space. Tomorrow's mass is a special one, as we celebrate the feast of St Luke the Evangelist.
Some facts about St Luke:
- He was the writer of the third Gospel of the bible.
- In his Gospel, Luke helps us to know how concerned Jesus was for the sick, the poor, and anyone in need of help, mercy, and forgiveness.
- Through Luke’s Gospel, we learn how compassionate and caring Jesus was. Some of the most famous stories Jesus told are found in Luke’s Gospel: The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-37) and the Lost Son (Luke 15:11-42).
- He also has a special connection with the women in Jesus' life, especially Mary. It is only in Luke's gospel that we hear the story of the Annunciation, Mary's visit to Elizabeth including the Magnificat, the Presentation, and the story of Jesus' disappearance in Jerusalem.
- Luke is also the author of the Acts of the Apostles. In Acts, we learn about the coming of the Holy Spirit; the work of the Apostles, especially Saint Paul; and how the Church grew in the world. He was the one person who was said to have remained with Saint Paul during his imprisonment and until his death.
- The symbol for Luke’s Gospel is an ox, an animal that was often sacrificed as an offering to God in ancient times. In his writings about Jesus, Luke reminds us of the great sacrifice Jesus made to save all people through his death on the cross and his Resurrection.
- Luke is the patron of Doctors (physicians and surgeons.)
