CLERGY MASS
St Francis Xavier's Parish hosted the Clergy Mass of the diocese on Tuesday 21st February for their annual Mass and meeting. Students in Years 3 to 6 attended the Mass along with over 40 clergy from the diocese and fellow parishioners. We also took this opportunity to say farewell to Bishop Michael Kennedy as he begins his new role as Bishop in the Diocese of Maitland Newcastle.
CARITAS AUSTRALIA
Recently every family received a box and pamphlet from Caritas Australia. The aim of Project Compassion is to fundraise to assist some of the world's most vulnerable people to create a future full of hope for their families, communities and For all Future Generations. As well as making donations in a class Project Compassion box, the students will learn the stories of people from around the world to show how Caritas Australia has supported them. The Project Compassion boxes can be returned to school on Monday 3rd April (the last week of Term 1.)
