Sacraments: A Fortnight of Faith and Milestones
It has been a truly busy and faith-filled fortnight for many of our students, marking significant milestones in their spiritual journeys. We are delighted to share the wonderful news of two important Sacraments celebrated recently.
Confirmation: Year 6 Students
We extend our warmest congratulations to our Year 6 students who received the Sacrament of Confirmation at a beautiful Mass held at St Mary's Cathedral. This powerful step seals their baptism and strengthens them with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. All students are to be sincerely congratulated on their commitment and reverence throughout the preparation and ceremony.
First Reconciliation: Year 2 Students
Additionally, our Year 2 students experienced an important milestone in their faith journey as they received the Sacrament of First Reconciliation. This Sacrament of Healing brings them closer to God, and they approached the occasion with great thoughtfulness and reverence, embracing this significant spiritual step.
Thank You to Parents and Teachers
The success of these celebrations is a testament to the community's commitment. We extend a heartfelt thank you to the parents for their continuous support and guidance, and especially to the teachers who dedicated their time and effort to preparing the students so thoroughly and reverently for these significant occasions.
Vinnies Christmas Appeal
As always, our connection with St Vincent de Paul and Vinnies is an important aspect of our Catholic Service. This year, we are going to have a Christmas Appeal, supporting those individuals who are not lucky and fortunate as us.
Each Stage is allocated specific items that will help the St Vincent de Paul restock their supplies.
Over the next few weeks you are invited to bring the items in for donation. All donations are extremely appreciated.
Please be advised that all items are to be donated by Monday 15th December (Week 10).
Grade | Items |
| Kindergarten | Toiletries Both men and women, ranging from teenagers to older generations. |
| Stage 1 | Fragrant Candles |
| Stage 2: | Christmas Foods Last year Vinnies said it was great to add Christmas Food (non perishable) when handing out Gift Cards. Puddings, cookies etc. |
| Stage 3 | Gift Cards Vinnies would love to get as many gift cards as possible so that families in need can have the opportunity to have some choice. Some families may come together to purchase gift cards. |
