Fr Paddy's Jubilee Mass

All families are invited to attend Fr Paddy's Jubilee Mass this Saturday evening at 6pm in the church. Fr Paddy has been in the priesthood for 30 years and it’s our way of celebrating this very special milestone with him. 

We are so grateful that we are able to share in Fr Paddy’s Faith Leadership here at St Joseph's and it would be lovely for our school community to join with the Parish to support him in this auspicious celebration.

Mrs Salmon would love to have a group of children to join the choir and help out with any other jobs that might be required on the evening. Please complete the Compass event if you can attend. 

Sacrament of Reconciliation

The Year 3 children along with seven children from surrounding schools, are busily preparing to make their Sacrament of Reconciliation this Wednesday and Thursday evening. 

We ask that you keep these children in your prayers as they prepare for this very important Sacrament. 

A Parent's Prayer

Loving God, You are the giver of all we possess, the source of all of our blessings. You love us unconditionally and undeservedly. Thank you for the gift of our children. Help us to set boundaries for them, and yet encourage them to explore. Give us the grace to show Your mercy and the wisdom to share Your light. Grant us strength and courage to let them see us walking in the steps of Your Son.  

As they receive this precious sacrament of Reconciliation, may our children come to know you, the one true loving and merciful God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. May your Holy Spirit help them to grow in faith, hope, and love, so they may know your peace, truth, and goodness. 

Amen.
