Lord,
Thank you for the changing seasons and the crisp, cool air.
As the weather cools down, help our hearts to stay warm with your love.

Family Mass

A huge thank you to all our families who joined us for our Family Mass last Sunday. It was wonderful to see our pews filled with so many smiling faces and to share in such a special morning of prayer and community. A very special mention must go to our Kindergarten staff and students, who led the liturgy with such reverence and joy.

Mother's Day

What a joy it was to host our Mother’s Day Liturgy and Morning Tea last week! We extend a warm and heartfelt thank you to all the mums, grandmothers, aunts, and special women in our lives who were able to join us. Our school was truly buzzing with love and gratitude as we celebrated the incredible role you play in shaping our children's lives.

Whether you traveled from just down the road or across the region, your presence made the morning truly memorable. We hope you enjoyed the beautiful liturgy led by our students and the chance to share a picnic with our school family. To the women who couldn't be with us but remain in our prayers—thank you for all the hidden ways you support our community.

We hope you all had a very Happy Mother’s Day yesterday!

The Ascension of the Lord ~ 17th May

This weekend, we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension, marking the moment Jesus returned to His Father in heaven. While the disciples watched Him ascend, they weren't left alone; instead, they were sent out with a joyful mission to share God's love with the world. In our classrooms, we reflect on how we can be "Jesus’ hands and feet", living out His message of hope and kindness in everything we do.
