Prayers for October

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, one of the best known of all Catholic devotions. October includes the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (October 7). The best way to celebrate the month is, of course, to pray the Rosary.

First Reconciliation

The First Reconciliation Retreat Day was held on Tuesday the 24th of September. Students enjoyed a day of prayer, reflection and fun at school and finished the retreat with a sausage sizzle. Students then made their First Reconciliation that night at St Joseph’s Church. Thank you to the families who were able to help with the BBQ. 

As a school we are going to be collecting stamps and sending them to Mary MacKillop Today. All you need to do is collect your stamps, new or used, it doesn’t matter (they’ll even take your collections and albums). The stamps are trimmed and sorted with the help of volunteers and then sent to an auction house where they are sold to collectors. 

Students are encouraged to get their grandparents or extended families and neighbours involved!
