Sacramental  Program for 2020

First Holy Communion 

Congratulations to Ethan A, Amelia S, Sebastian B, Minerva B, Nathan F, Aaron B, William B, Poppy R, Evan S and Jake C in Yr 3 who made their First Holy Communion last Sunday 20 September with Fr Patrick and Fr Healey. A special time for them and their families as they receive the Eucharist for the first time and were nourished in their Faith. Thank you to Mr Aguilera, Mr Matthews, Mrs Vincent, Ms Clarkson, Mrs Lantry and Mrs Smith who supported the students at these masses.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the other Yr 3 students as they prepare to make the Sacrament in the coming weeks. God Bless!

Sacrament of Confirmation Change of Date

Thank you to all who have booked and finalised payment.  

It is with regret that Father Patrick has had to change one of the dates for Confirmation. The Confirmation Liturgy that was to be held on Monday 2 November will now be held on Tuesday 10 November at 7:00 pm. All previous bookings for 2 November have automatically been transferred to the new date. If you have any inquiries please contact the parish office.

The other two dates and bookings remain the same but please note the change of time to 7:00 pm for both Tuesday 3 November and Wednesday 4 November. 

Ripples

Peter Turner has worked in the area of Education throughout his career and during this time has carried out a number of significant roles. He was the Director of Schools for the Catholic Diocese of Wollongong for thirteen years and the Regional Director of Education for the Southern Region of the Archdiocese of Sydney for five years. Apart from his commitment to education he also has a strong heart and passion for social justice.

Peter is a wonderfully inspiring speaker and has been invited to address many different groups. During one forum with beginning teachers he raised the significant question - For what do you wish to be known? It is a question that prompts us all to consider both our purpose and the principles which underpin this.

In this Episode I explore this same question with Peter, eager to hear more about what motivates and guides him in his decisions and actions. Peter acknowledges the importance of words, yet highlights that these must be met with actions.  He generously shares stories and experiences from his professional and personal life and underlying these experiences is a deep and profound sense of God’s presence and support.

“The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you.”Billy Graham
