As we begin our final term of the school year, we look forward to a busy and exciting few weeks filled with prayer, celebrations, special events and opportunities to come together as a school community.

Some important Catholic Identity events to look forward to include:

Throughout the term, our Friday morning Assembly Prayers will continue to provide opportunities for students and families to gather in faith and celebrate our Catholic identity.

We look forward to sharing these special moments with our families as we conclude another wonderful year at St Brendan's, continuing to live our school theme, "Seek Peace and Pursue It."

Please refer to the attached Term 4 Parent Flyer for further dates and details.

A Warm Welcome to Our New Assistant Priest

Fr Wilford Urmaza, RCJ

We warmly welcome Fr Wilford Urmaza, RCJ, our new Assistant Priest, to St Brendan’s Parish and school community.

During the school holidays, I had the opportunity to catch up with Fr Wilford, who shared his excitement about visiting our school and getting to know our students and teachers.

We look forward to welcoming Fr Wilford to St Brendan’s Primary School and sharing many special faith-filled occasions with him throughout the term.

Fr Wilford will be our main celebrant for our Whole School End of Year Mass and Year 6 Graduation on Friday 20 November (Week 7), at 9.30am.

We wish Fr Wilford every blessing as he begins his ministry within our parish community and look forward to getting to know him.

Wishing all our St Brendan’s families a wonderful Term 4, filled with faith, hope, peace and many blessings.

May we continue to walk together in faith, living out our school theme, “Seek Peace and Pursue It.”

God bless,

Leanne PellegrinoCatholic Identity Leader
