Movember Event for Men #2

Faith, Footy and Fun!

Save the Date!

Monday 25th November at Gymea Pub 7pm.

Family Educators in the Shire are again organising this event. Men are invited to come along to a night dedicated to men’s health with well known footy players, a priest and a psychologist to facilitate the evening. Look out for me for a flyer!

November - We remember our loved ones

During the month of November we are asked to remember the people in our lives who we have loved and have now died. The best way to celebrate this month is to talk, tell stories and share memories about these people. Praying too can give us a sense of comfort and peace.

November Prayer Chain

Families are invited to write a prayer or a few words of love on a piece of paper provided for a loved one. Look out for the Year 6 Pope Francis students who will be assisting with this initiative. The prayers will be made into a Prayer Chain and displayed in our Office foyer.

SPaRS in the Church

Celebrating The Nativity and the Season of Advent

K - 2 parents will soon be invited to the Church for a SPaR (Stop, Pray and Reflect) with their child’s class to view the Nativity in the Church foyer, learn about the Season of Advent and listen to the story of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem. Each session will be approximately 20-30 mins long. Parents are very welcome to meet us at the Church and sit with their child.
