Welcome to our New Pope
Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, was elected pope on 8 May, becoming the first US-born and second American pope. He brings a background of study in Rome, years of ministry in Peru, where he is a naturalised citizen, and leadership in the Augustinian Order. A multilingual canon lawyer and mathematician, he supports synodality and has served communities on the margins. His chosen name reflects a commitment to Catholic social justice, and his public support for migrants, climate action, and abuse survivors signals a continued focus on key global issues. In his first message, he called the Church to move forward united, without fear, guided by Christ. (Taken from Australian Catholics Education Hub)
We continue to pray for Pope Leo XIV

Safety in carpark and around surrounding streets
A reminder to parents that you need to be very careful and patient at drop off and pick up times.
Not only are there a number of cars in the carpark but high pedestrian traffic particularly at the back gate and crossing streets.
Please look out for toddlers and all community members.
Safety is our number one priority.
