Education in Faith

We give thanks for all fathers and the important men in our lives.

Thank you for the men who love, support and guide us, who encourage us when things are difficult,

celebrate our achievements, and help us to become the best people we can be.

We pray for our fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, brothers, and all those special men who care for us and help us along the way. May you bless them with strength, wisdom and joy. May they always know how much they are loved and how grateful we are for all they do. We remember those who cannot be with us today, and we hold them close in our hearts. 

Amen.

Celebrating Fathers Day

This Sunday, we celebrate Father’s Day.  It is a special opportunity to pause, reflect and give thanks for the wonderful men who play an important role in our lives.

Father’s Day is a time to honour and celebrate fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and all the special men who care for, guide and support us. It is an opportunity to express our gratitude for the love, encouragement, wisdom and protection they provide to their families.

For our children, Father’s Day is a beautiful reminder of the important role these special men play in helping us grow, learn, feel safe, supported and loved, and become the best people we can be.

May this Father’s Day be a joyful celebration of the love and special bonds shared between children and the important men in their lives.

Wishing all fathers and father figures a very happy and blessed Father’s Day!

Family Mass September 6th, 5pm St Joseph’s Church

Our family masses are a special opportunity for our parish community to gather and celebrate together.  On this occasion, we will also give thanks for our dads and all those who show us fatherly love.  We especially invite children who have recently received their first communion or confirmation to join us to celebrate mass.  Our children's choir is also warmly invited to sing at the mass and help lead our community in song. 

Celebrating mass

This Thursday 3 September at 9.15am, students from Year 4ZK and 4FLW will come together to celebrate Mass.

This Mass provides our students with an opportunity to gather as a faith community, listen to the Word of God, pray together and reflect on how we can live out our faith through kindness, compassion and service to others.

We warmly invite parents, carers and members of our school community to join us for this special celebration. Your presence helps make these occasions meaningful for our students and strengthens the connection between our school, families and parish community.

We look forward to sharing this special time of prayer and celebration together.

Upcoming School Mass Times

Throughout the term, students will have regular opportunities to attend Mass as part of their faith journey and spiritual development. These celebrations provide meaningful moments for prayer, reflection, and connection with our school community. The following schedule outlines the allocated times for each class to participate in Mass and other prayer experiences.

We warmly invite parents and carers to join us whenever possible, as your presence helps to enrich these special occasions and strengthens the partnership between home, school, and parish.

God bless and have a great week.
