Invitation to Parents for our Lenten Season initiative: 

Vinnies Bayside Van Outreach Opportunity

During the season of Lent this term, we will be organising another opportunity for parent outreach, making sandwiches for the bayside lunch service at the Eastlakes Community Centre.  We will gather in the staffroom to prepare sandwiches and deliver them to the Eastlakes community centre where we will serve them to the community in need there.  Last year, we made 120 sandwiches thanks to the generous donations of parents and those who came along to make and serve them.  Our dates this year will be:

Tuesday 31st March/ Tuesday 27th May / Tuesday 18th August.  Coordinating details will be sent out closer to the dates.  In the meantime, please place your name in this form to express interest in assisting.Click Here to Register and add your name to the donation list

Have you ever been on a spiritual retreat?

This retreat is a meaningful way to enter the Lenten season and encounter God in a personal, renewing way. Retreats offer space for rest, reflection, learning, and growth, helping us draw closer to God, recognise what holds us back on our faith journey, and seek solace, love, and peace.

If you’re longing for something deeper this Lent, hoping to experience God’s presence more clearly, or ready to take a first step in relationship with Him, this is a beautiful opportunity. The Dominican Sisters are a gracious, welcoming community who generously share their gifts for our spiritual good.
