Family and Faith
From the Family Educator
SUNDAY IS FAMILY TIME
It is time to restore the sacredness of precious FAMILY TIME. Our Catholic tradition identifies SUNDAY as a day of gathering to worship and breaking bread together. Would you like to celebrate and re-connect with your family? Here is the perfect opportunity!
Come to Mass at Our Lady Star of the Sea Miranda Parish at 10:30 am then enjoy lunch at a local Italian restaurant in Gymea- FIOR. This local establishment is offering children free dining on Sundays. For reservations phone 02 9534 220 or book online here.
Year 4 SPaR in the Church
On Wednesday this week students and parents gathered together in the church to reflect on each person’s Lenten journey thus far. It is a good time to stop and think, what am I doing to grow closer to God during this time? Praying daily, giving up something (activities or food), being able to give some money to those in need or just taking the time to talk to God are all things we can do during Lent. Our Year 4 students were able to take stock and reflect, how about you?
