OUR FAITH

PRAYER 

Heavenly Father, 

grant that our families may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of Gospel and small domestic Churches. Make us ever more mindful of the sacredness and beauty of the family in God’s plan. 

Amen

We pray ... 

for..... all Year 12 students in particular the McCarthy Catholic College students as they undertake their HSC exams. 

LITURGY NEWS

Yesterday some of our Year 6 students had the opportunity to attend Reconciliation. Next Wednesday some of our Year 4 students will have the opportunity to attend Reconciliation and Year 1 will have a class visit with one of our parish priests. We thank Fr Chris and Fr Saji for their time and spiritual guidance.

FAMILY MASSES

Family Masses for this term will be held Sunday 3rd November (Yr 3 families) and Sunday 1st December (Yr2 and Yr 4 families) at St Nicholas Church at 9.30a.m. 

These Masses are an opportunity for our School community to come together with our Parish Community to celebrate and to share a ‘cuppa ‘and morning tea afterwards.

REAL TALK - YEAR 4 AND YEAR 6

The REAL Talk team will facilitate workshops with our Year 4 and Year 6 students on Friday 8th November. It is important that parents are aware of what will be discussed with their child. Real Talk has therefore provided a link to the parent membership site. Access to all content is free and very beneficial. https://realtalkparents.com/primaryfreeyear

WHO IS REAL TALK? Real Talk provides seminars, reflection days and up-to-date resources to young people on topics relating to identity, eSafety, relationships, love, sex and marriage. They speak to over 30,000 students each year and provide resources to support children and their parents.
