Family and Faith

Term 3 is proving to be exciting and busy! Year 3 celebrated a beautiful Sunday Mass filled with family and friends for the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. Congratulations to all of these students and their families, we are so proud of you.

Colours, counting and making shapes, the Little Stars are learning lots of new skills and

continue to make new friendships. All siblings and those from the community aged 0-5, are invited to share in the fun activities each Friday in the Lower Parish Centre.

Father’s Day is just around the corner, please remember to save the below dates:

Thursday 4th September - Father’s Day Stall 

Friday 5th September - Father’s Day Breakfast, Paper Wings and Liturgy 

Today we had a visit from the St Vincent de Paul Street Van for Stage 3 students. This was a great opportunity to learn what a vital role this organisation plays in helping those in need live a life where the basic needs are met. 

As a community we were able to give 400 snack pack bags and $1200 of vouchers, what a blessing! Thank you once again to our wonderful community for supporting such a worthy cause. “Our love is not just words but something real and active” Jn 3:18.
