New foyer art work

If you have visited the foyer recently you may have seen the new art work. This was a collaborative pieces where each student at Holy Spirit contributed a dove. These doves were decorated on our Spirit Day celebrations in May. Around the art piece we have put the first line of our school prayer.

Come Holy Spirit, make within our hearts your home.

First Eucharist

Our year 4 students have begun preparations for their First Eucharist which they will receive in August. Next week the students will take part in a workshop during the day where they will make some unleavened bread, work on an art piece to be displayed in the Church,  re-enact the Last Supper and learn about different items in the Church.

At 5:30 the students will return to school to continue their Eucharist preparation with their parents.

Please keep these wonderful young people in your prayers as they take this important step in their faith journey.
