IMPORTANT DATES
First Confession Information Night
The First Confession (Reconciliation) Parent Information Night will be held at the Infants Campus (Year 2 Classroom - 2R) on Tuesday 11th February. This meeting will begin at 6.00pm. Parents of those students preparing for the Sacrament are encouraged to attend.
First Confession Enrolment Masses
On Saturday 15th February (5.30pm) & Sunday 16th of February (9.00am OR 5.30pm), all candidates wishing to receive the Sacrament of Confession are required to attend an Enrolment Mass. A teacher will be at each Mass to hand out the enrolment cards and to mark your child’s attendance.
Sacrament of First Confession
The date for the Sacrament of First Confession is Wednesday 25th March at 4.00pm.
Beginning of Year Mass & Captains Induction
Students from Years 1 - 6 will attend Mass at Mary Help of Christians Church on Friday 14th February at 10.00am. All parents are welcome to celebrate the beginning of a new school year. The new School Leaders will have their badges blessed by Father Paul and receive them in a special ceremony during the Mass. We hope to see you there!
Ash Wednesday
Wednesday 26th February is Ash Wednesday. All students will be attending a Liturgy of the Word which will include the imposition of Ashes. This means your child will receive the Sign of the Cross on their forehead with ashes (made by last year’s palm leaves). We ask that parents notify their child’s class teacher if they do not want their child to receive ashes on Ash Wednesday.
Offertory Roster
The roster for those wishing to be a part of the Offertory, and take the Gifts up to Fr. Paul at a weekend Mass is currently under construction.
If you would like your children/family to be rostered on for this very important ministry, please contact Mrs Clarke: sclarke@arm.catholic.edu.au . You will need to nominate a Mass time, Saturday at 5.30pm, 9.00am Sunday or 5.30pm Sunday. Thank you!
Altar Servers Roster - old and new
Could all current Altar Servers please email Mrs Clarke to notify her of your preferred Mass times. This will help in finalising the Altar Server Roster.
If there are any children who would like to serve at a weekend Mass, Years 1 - 6, and are not currently altar serving, please notify Mrs Clarke at the Primary or Mrs Willis at the Infants. A large group of our servers were from Year 6 2019, so we would love to see some new faces.
Prayers
We ask you to please keep Kaye and Ewie Creanor in your prayers and thoughts as Kaye sadly passed away during the holidays. Kaye was our Infants Campus School Crossing Supervisor and a friend to many.
