Confirmation 

Last term, on Saturday, June 28th, a group of our students — Ben, Mia, Lucas, Harvey, Charlotte, Sam, Erika, Ashton, Heidi, Gabrielle, Louie, and Benjamin received the Sacrament of Confirmation at Emmanuel College. It was a special occasion, as they were confirmed by Bishop Martin Ashe and Parish Priest Fr. Binh Le. The Mass provided a wonderful opportunity for our students to pray and be confirmed alongside students from St. Martin de Porres, Queen of Peace, and the Preca community. We extend our warmest congratulations to all our students who received this important sacrament.

Looking ahead, another significant sacrament is fast approaching: the Sacrament of First Eucharist. Some of our Year Four students will be receiving this sacrament in just a few weeks' time. To prepare, all Year Four students spent a morning on Tuesday, July 22nd, with Lucas, learning about the Eucharist and its profound importance. To illustrate the significance of sharing a meal within the Eucharist, the students also experienced baking bread.

Grandparents Day

Tomorrow, Friday, July 25th, we're excited to celebrate Grandparents' Day as a school community!

This special day coincides with the feast day of Saints Joachim and Anne, who hold a very significant place in history as the parents of Mary, Jesus' mother. Because of their cherished role as Jesus' grandparents, they are known as the patron saints of grandparents.

As we celebrate Saints Joachim and Anne, we're inspired by their incredible love for each other and for Mary. Their lives are a beautiful example of the love and devotion God calls us to embrace. It's also a wonderful reminder for us to honor and express gratitude to our own grandparents, who have showered us with so much love and care.

To celebrate our faith as a school, our wonderful Year One students will be leading a Grandparents' Day Prayer Liturgy tomorrow at 10:00 AM in the Church. 

All families are warmly invited to attend and pray with us. We can't wait to see many of our cherished grandparents and "grand-friends" there!
