CELEBRATING OUR FAITH
Mini Vinnies
Within the 5/6S Mass on May 7th, the Mini Vinnies students were commissioned into their roles, made a pledge of service and received their badges. Congratulations to these students.
3/4D Mass
This Friday, 3/4D will lead the Primary Mass focusing on Pentecost. This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost is called the birthday of the church because before Pentecost, there really was no church. Jesus had ascended back into the heavens, the Apostles were scared and confused, and nobody knew what to do. Going out to baptise people and preach about Jesus was the last thing they had in mind because their lives would be in danger.
Pentecost celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit – the force that turned a group of frightened and confused people into church. There was a rush of wind, tongues of fire, and then suddenly there was courage, knowledge, direction and commitment! Everyone started speaking and was understood, no matter what the language of the listener was! These were saints suddenly on fire with the Holy Spirit.
Families and friends of 3/4D are invited to attend the Mass on Friday, 21 May at 9:15am at Sacred Heart Church.
Catholic Schools Week
23 to 29 May 2021
Sunday 23 May is the beginning of Catholic Schools Week. This year we acknowledge that Catholic Education has been part of this country for over 200 years as we celebrate the bicentenary of the first Catholic school established in Parramatta in October 1820.
A national theme, “Faith in the future” has been developed for the 200 years celebrations. The theme reflects the core purpose of Catholic education to form students in their faith, and to provide an education that enables our graduates to make a meaningful contribution to the world. The theme reflects our commitment to build on the great work of those who have come before us, and to provide a Catholic education for future generations of students in a world that is rapidly changing and poses new challenges for Catholic school communities. Yet, we have faith that we can face these challenges and continue to build on, and strengthen our mission of Catholic education.
