Father's Day Breakfast - Friday, 4th September
We can't wait to celebrate at out Father's Day BBQ Breakfast with all of our wonderful dads and families! We will see you from 7.30am!
St. Carlo Acutis Eucharistic Miracles Exhibition
St. Carlo Acutis was a teenager from Italy who had a great love for Jesus and a deep devotion to the Eucharist, which he called “my highway to heaven.” Before his death to leukaemia in 2006 at the age of 15, St. Carlo documented all the verified Eucharistic miracles from around the world and catalogued them onto a website that he himself called Eucharistic Miracles of the World.
Next week, the students at our school are very fortunate to attend the St. Carlo Acutis Eucharistic Miracles Exhibition. This display captures the work of St. Carlo and gives the students a chance to learn about the miracles and spend some time in prayer. The exhibition will be in the church hall. Infants students will travel by bus to the Primary Campus.
Upcoming Dates:
- Fathers' Day Breakfast - Friday, 4th September, 7.30am - 9.00am
- Bishop Murphy visiting the Confirmation Candidates - Friday, 4th September, 2-3pm
- St. Carlo Acutis Eucharistic Miracles Exhibition - all classes, 8th - 10th September
- Sacrament of Confirmation - Sunday, 13th September, 9.00am
