‘SOCKIT’ TO POVERTY CRAZY SOCK DAY 
 
IMPORTANT!All students have been encouraged to bring plastic bags and old unwanted socks or T-shirts to school. These will be repurposed and made into soccer balls on Thursday. 

 

On Thursday, students will use these handmade recycled soccer balls to participate in fun teacher lead relays, a juggling challenge, and grade soccer shoot out competition. 

 

Thank you to all within the school community for your support of Catholic Mission 2020.

“Together we can ‘kick goals’ and reach out to others in need”

 

This year in his World Mission Day Message 2020 Pope Francis urges us to continue Jesus’ mission:

“…. the mission of Jesus in history …. sends us everywhere so that, through our witness of faith and the proclamation of the Gospel, God may continue to manifest God’s love and in this way touch and transform hearts, minds, bodies, societies and cultures in every place and time.”

Sacramental  Program for 2020

First Holy Communion 

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the other Yr 3 students as they prepare to make the Sacrament in November.  God Bless!

 

First Holy Communion Mass Booking/Registration

Candidates and their parents have been registered for these Masses. A reminder that additional booking inquiries need to be made via the Parish Office on 4284 3000. Please be aware of the limit of 60 at each Mass due to restrictions.

 

Sacrament of Confirmation Change of Date

It is with regret that Father Patrick has had to change one of the dates for Confirmation. The Confirmation Liturgy that was to be held on Monday 2 November will now be held on Tuesday 10 November at 7:00 pm. All previous bookings for 2 November have automatically been transferred to the new date. If you have any inquiries please contact the parish office.

 

The other two dates and bookings remain the same but please note the change of time to 7:00 pm for both Tuesday 3 November and Wednesday 4 November.

 

Due to the 'Four square metre rule' for Covid Restrictions and the size of the St Joseph's Church, Confirmation Liturgies will still only be the candidate, sponsor and a parent. 

 

Further inquiries, please contact the Parish Office on 4284 3000.
