Education in Faith 

        Lord, bless all mothers today and every day. 

Grant them strength, patience, and overflowing joy in their roles as caregivers.

Father, we lift up all mothers, including the remarkable grandmothers among us. 

We celebrate their wisdom, their strength, 

and the unconditional love they pour into our lives.

Amen

A message from Pope Leo XIV:

We thank God for the swift appointment of Robert Prevost, a cardinal from the United States, now our new Pope, taking the name Leo XIV. In his first words as Pope Francis’s successor, Leo said, 

“Peace be with you. Together, we must try  to find out how to be a missionary church, a church that builds bridges, establishes dialogue, that’s always open to receive - to be able to receive everybody that needs our charity, our presence, dialogue and love.”

The Year 4 online Eucharist workshop will take place this  Thursday the 15th of May at 7.00pm.  The Eucharist candidates and their families are invited to attend the workshop facilitated by Maria Forde.  A link to connect to this workshop will be sent to families during the week.

Project compassion: 

Thank you to our Social justice leaders and school leaders for assisting with our lolly jar fundraiser.  The students are enjoying guessing the amount of lollies that are in the jar.  This competition ends on Thursday 15th of May, and the winners will be announced on Friday 16th of May during assembly. All  proceeds going to Caritas Australia.  As project compassion 2025 comes to an end, St Fidelis school community would like to thank you for your incredible support throughout Lent.  We ask that all project compassion money boxes are returned to school by Friday 23rd of May. 

Whole school and class mass times.

Throughout the term, the students will be attending mass.  The following times have been allocated for the students to attend.  We invite parents and carers to take the time and opportunity to participate in these special celebrations. This week 5/6ZK and FAM mass has been cancelled. 

God bless and have a great week,
