ADVENT

The Advent themes - hope, peace, joy, and love unfold over the four weeks, guiding our hearts to reflect on the profound impact of Jesus' birth. Each Advent theme invites us to pause, refocus, and embrace God's promises.

The first Sunday symbolises HOPE with the "Prophet's Candle" reminding us that Jesus is coming.

The second Sunday symbolises FAITH with the "Bethlehem Candle" reminding us of Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem.

The third Sunday symbolises JOY with the "Shepherd's Candle" reminding us of the Joy the world experienced at the coming birth of Jesus.

The fourth Sunday symbolises PEACE with the "Andel's Candle" reminding us of the message of the angels: "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men."

ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS APPEAL

This year, we will share the joy of Christmas by supporting local families in need. 

During Advent, we will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items to create Christmas Hampers that will be provided to these families. 

If you are able to make donations, please send them to school with your child/ren to add to the baskets in the office area.
