Congratulations to all the students that received the Sacrament of Confirmation and Eucharist (First Holy Communion) during the celebrations Masses over the past weekend

A special thank you to the Year 3 staff that prepared the students, and to Fr Michael, Sacred Heart staff and families that supported the candidates by organising and attending the Mass services over the past few weeks. 

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption. This is a holy day of obligation marking the occasion of the Virgin Mary’s bodily ascent to heaven at the end of her life. Assumption Day commemorates the belief that when Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, died, her body was "assumed" into heaven to be reunited with her soul, instead of going through the natural process of physical decay upon death.
