Education in Faith
We thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit and for the blessing of the
Sacrament of Confirmation.
As our Year 6 students prepare to receive this special sacrament, fill their hearts with Your love, courage, and wisdom. Help them to grow as faithful disciples of Jesus, making choices that reflect kindness, compassion, and hope.
May the gifts of the Holy Spirit guide them each day, strengthening them to live their faith with confidence and to share Your love with others through their words and actions.
Bless their families, sponsors, teachers, and parish community who walk beside them on this journey of faith.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Thank you for the love, wisdom, and faith you bring to your families and our school community. We hope you enjoyed celebrating alongside your grandchildren and created many treasured memories together.
Confirmation retreat day
Yesterday our Year 6 students participated in a special Confirmation Retreat Day at St Fidelis. Throughout the day, they took part in prayer, reflection, and group discussions, which helped them deepen their understanding of the Sacrament of Confirmation and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The students participated thoughtfully and respectfully, making the most of this special opportunity to reflect on their faith. It was a meaningful and enjoyable day as they continue preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation.
