Whole School Masses

All Souls' Day 2nd November

All Souls’ Day, formally called the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, is the Church’s annual day of prayer for the dead. 

It is observed on November 2, the day after All Saints’ Day. 

 

 All Souls’ Day is a day of remembrance, prayer and Christian hope.  Where the dead are entrusted to God’s mercy while looking forward to the resurrection and eternal life.  We remember in a special way those who have died and pray for them. It is a day to give thanks for the people we love, to entrust them to God’s care, and to hold on to the Christian hope of new life with God. 

May we remember the departed with love and keep them in our prayers.

2027 Sacramental Program

A reminder St Mary of the Angels Parish runs the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist (First Holy Communion) yearly, with the Sacrament of Confirmation being a biannual event (2027). 

It is imperative that we gather our enrolments of Candidates ASAP.

Although heavily supported by the school for St Mary of the Angel students, Sacraments are a Church activity and we stress the importance of students and parent/carers attending all catechesis meetings with Father O'Shea (St Mary of the Angels students receive some their Sacramental learning in RE Lessons at school, parents will still be required to attend an information meeting).

 

If you know of families outside of our school community who have children to complete their Sacraments please forward them the link for this form or ask them to contact our school.  

Please note: Enrolment for our Sacraments are also dependent on students being able to produce their Baptismal Certificates and checks of parish records by Father O'Shea.

 

Further information regarding the dates for mass and meeting attendance will follow to interested participants. Please complete the 2027 Sacarmental Form HERE

 

At this stage dates are:
