Religious Education

Term Two 

Eucharist Ceremony

Our Eucharist Masses are this coming weekend! This year our Masses will be held on Saturday 3rd June at 6pm and Sunday 4th June at 10:30am. We keep these children in our prayers. 

Staff Formation Retreat 

On the 13th and 14th of June our staff are headed to Healesville to take part in a series of experiences that will lead to faith formation and consequently this will impact teaching and learning in our understanding about our own Catholic faith and the teaching of Religious Education to our children. 

What is Formation?

Formation is Christ-centred. It is scripturally rich and grounded.

Formation is intentional, ongoing and reflective. It starts from people’s lived experiences and focuses on the growth of individuals and communities in spiritual awareness, theological understanding, vocational motivation, and in capabilities for mission and service in the world.

• Formation takes many forms, both formal and informal
• There is a range of processes for formation and there is no one way of designing it. 
• The participants are the key resource in formation. The program facilitator or formator is not bringing God to people, for God is already there. Each person’s life is sacred.
• Formation builds on the experience of the participants through processes of input, reflection, sharing and application. 
• Each aspect or session of formation builds on the past and has a context ahead
• This reflective, developmental process enables participants to apply the experience to their everyday life and their ministry in Catholic education.
