Education in Faith

First Eucharist

It was wonderful that we were able to have the First Eucharist Masses in the Church again this year, the first time in 3 years. During 9 masses over 3 weekends 56 Holy Spirit students received the sacrament of  Eucharist. The masses were lovely and I am very grateful to Father Arsenio and Father John for making the children feel so special and comfortable. Thank you also to Jacinta, Jenny and Ruth in the Parish Office for all your hard work organising this Parish based sacrament program.

Feast of the Assumption

Monday 15th of August is the Feast of the Assumption 

Assumption Day commemorates the belief that when Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, died, her body was "assumed" into heaven to be reunited with her soul, instead of going through the natural process of physical decay upon death. This is a holy day of obligation.

Holy Spirit students will attend mass on this Friday 12th of August at 11:45 to mark this feast day. All welcome.
