Statement on the death of His Holiness, Pope Francis 

'As the Church enters this time of Easter filled with the light and hope of the world, it is with deep sadness that we have received the news of the death of His Holiness, Pope Francis.

We unite with all the People of God in praying for the eternal rest of his soul and entrust him to the tender loving mercy of the Father.

Pope Francis, who came from the peripheries of the world, has been the father of the poor, and a witness of joy and hope. May the Lord, he so faithfully trusted, now welcome him into eternal life.

St Patrick’s Cathedral Melbourne will be open early Tuesday morning to receive those who may wish to visit for prayer and remembrance. In the coming days, more information will be available regarding opportunities to come together in gratitude, and to pray for the Holy Father.

May he rest in God’s gracious and gentle peace.

Mary, Our Blessed Mother of God, pray for him.St Francis of Assisi, pray for him.

All Holy Men and Women, Saints of God, pray for him.' Most Rev Peter A Comensoli Archbishop of Melbourne

Family Faith Night - First Eucharist

Thank you to all involved in our Year Four First Eucharist Faith Formation Night with Fr. Elio Capra on Wednesday. This important event helps to ground us in the true meaning of Eucharist and how we can continue to live the Eucharist and support the children to do so as well. 

Anzac Day 

On Thursday 24th April our school community acknowledged ANZAC Day with a special prayer service led by Ms Alison and a number of students representing each year level. The whole student body is to be commended on the way they participated in the service and the respect they demonstrated. 

ANZAC Day reminds us each year of just how lucky we are to live in a free country and to have such honourable service men and women dedicating their lives to protect us. 

We pray,

God of Hope, in this season of Easter we rejoice in the New Life the Risen Jesus gives us, offering hope and peace. 

Today, as we remember the ANZAC soldiers who fought to protect our country, help us to be instruments of your peace. We make our prayer in the name of the Risen Jesus. 

Amen.
