OUR FAITH

PRAYER 

We thank you Lord, for this term. For our challenges, our successes, and the mistakes from which we have learnt. Be with us as we spend our time with family and friends. Give us strength and courage to do what is right: to be witnesses of our faith.

Amen

We pray ... 

for.....all those traveling  during the holidays – may they be kept safe; for our St Nicholas School Community, that we all experience a happy and refreshing holiday break with our family and loved ones.

FIRST EUCHARIST

Congratulations to the students who celebrated the Sacrament of First Eucharist last Saturday and Sunday week. This was such a special occasion for the candidates, their families and the parish community. The children were appropriately dressed and we thank our parents for their support in ensuring that the children’s attire truly reflected a ‘sense of the occasion’. A very big thank you and special mention must go to Fr Chris for the manner in which he made both Masses so meaningful and special for our children, their families and all in attendance. Thank you also to the Altar Servers and the Parish choir for supporting our children and for the many members of our Parish and school who have been praying for our children. Mrs Dickie, Mrs Elliott, Miss Cameron and Mrs Roberts also need to be thanked for ensuring that our students were well prepared for this important occasion. We pray that this is the first of many encounters our children have with our Lord Jesus, as they continue to seek to become regular participants at our Mass each week.
