Religious Education & Pastoral Care 

“Heavenly mother, filled with God's grace, pray for us today and all days, that we may strive to trusting, patient and faithful, as you were, so that we may one day join you and all saints in heaven. In Jesus's name we pray. Amen.”

Feast of the Assumption

The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated each year on 15 August. This date commemorates the death of Mary and her bodily assumption into Heaven. Because it signifies the Blessed Virgin’s passing into eternal life, it is an important event in our faith life and a Holy Day of Obligation. 

There will be two masses at St Patrick's on Thursday 15 August for the Feast of the Assumption.  The first is at 9am which will be attended by all students K-6, and the second is at 5:30pm.

Save the Date ~ Reconciliation

Our students will make the Sacrament of Reconciliation on the 3rd September at 5:30pm in our St Patrick's Church. The Parent Information evening will be held this week - 13th August at 5:30pm. If you have not received an email on Compass from Mrs Mitchell with information and notes to return, please contact her on tmitchell1@arm.catholic.edu.au
