OUR FAITH

PRAYER 

Sustaining God, caretaker of life, you are always present. You live in us. Watch over our school community during the break, and keep us safe in your watchful gaze. Bless our school community as we celebrate our holidays. 

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. 

Amen.

We pray ...

for.....  all Year 12 students in particular the McCarthy Catholic College students as they embark on completing their final days of schooling, for Mrs Sophie Tobler (Miss Dewhurst) and her husband Jake on their recent marriage, for Mrs Kellie Whitbread and Mrs Laura Chapman and their families on the impending arrival of their babies in the coming month.

CATHOLIC MISSION

October is Mission Month – Advanced Notice 

This year’s Catholic Mission theme is 'Kick Goals For Good in 2023'. Catholic Mission is asking that we join others throughout Australia to learn more about issues of mission and justice and to reach out to the children in Timor-Leste in an effort to support a brighter future. To support Catholic Mission Month our school will be having a “Crazy Socktober Day” on Friday 20th October where the students will be allowed to wear colourful and outrageous socks to school for the day. The students are asked to bring a gold coin donation to school on this day to help raise funds and awareness of how all children have the right to a brighter future. More information about Catholic Mission can be found at https://www.socktober.org.au/

October – Decade a Day 

Come October and our school will undertake the praying of the Rosary each day. Beginning the first day of Term 4 each grade will take turns and pray a decade of the Rosary. You to may like to do this in your homes. The Rosary helps us to see our human lives in the light of Christ. It is a prayer that can be prayed at any time; however its simplicity and repetition make the Rosary particularly helpful in life’s pauses, journeys and moments of waiting.
