First Eucharist Family Faith Evening 

A reminder for our Year Four families that the First Eucharist Family Faith evening will be held in the Hub, this evening, 15 May, 6.00 - 7.00 pm.

If your child is receiving their First Eucharist on the 21 or 22 June this year, they must attend the faith evening with at least one adult from their family. 

Year Four students who are not Catholic or receiving their First Eucharist are most welcome to attend the faith evening with an adult family member.

Miss Corso's fun fact about Pope Leo 

Miss Corso shared photos of when Pope Leo visited her home town of Kyabram in northern Victoria. 

Pope Leo was still known as Fr Robert Prevost at that time and Miss Corso was a very, very, very young girl. 

Her father kindly shared photos and information of this event.

The Sacrament of Baptism 

Some families have made enquiries about having their child baptised into the Catholic Church.

If you are considering this for your child, please contact Deacon Malcolm at the Parish house, next to the school. The parish phone number is  94016345  

The late Pope Francis' Prayer Intentions for May

Pope Francis published his prayer intentions for each month at the beginning of the year. To honour the memory of Pope Francis, we will continue to publish his monthly prayer intentions until Pope Leo releases his monthly prayer intentions.  Please try to find some quiet time in your busy day to pray this prayer. Thank you. 

For working conditions

Let us pray that through work, 

each person might find fulfilment, 

families might be sustained in dignity, 

and that society might be humanized. 

Amen
