November - A Time To Honour & Remember
In the hearts of Catholics around the world, November holds a special place as the month dedicated to remembering the departed. Anchored by the sacred observances of All Saints' Day on November 1st and All Souls' Day on November 2nd, we pay our respects to all the known and unknown Saints and our loved ones who have died and gone to God. However, our remembrance extends far beyond these particular dates. Throughout the entire month, we keep the spirit of our departed alive by honouring their memory, reflecting on their legacy and finding solace in the timeless bond that connects us.
Please remember that our beautiful parish church is open everyday and you are very welcome to go inside and pray or take a moment to sit and remember those you love who are now in heaven.
“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.”

Advent Craft Night
Following last years successful Advent Craft night we are doing it again this year!
Friday 24 November @6.30pm in the hall.
There is no charge for attending, but it would be lovely if you could bring a plate to share. I will send out an invitation next week so that you can RSVP to ensure that we have enough glitter glue and sequins.
Year 5 & 2024 Kindy Mass
On Saturday 2nd December we would like to invite our Year 5 families to attend the 5.00pm Mass at St Patrick's Church and bring a plate to share with the 2024 Kindy students and their families.
This will be a lovely opportunity for the Year 5 students to meet the 2024 Kindy's before they join us at school next year and for their parents to meet and chat to parents who are already part of our school community.
As with all of our Grade Masses, every family in the school is very welcome to join us!
