Sacrament of Reconciliation

Congratulations to Amelia, Darren, Sebastian, Ivy, Evelyn, Selina, Joshua, Rishon, Madison and Ramielle who made their First Sacrament of Reconciliation last Tuesday 22nd October. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is the second Sacrament in the Catholic Church and is when we celebrate Jesus' gift of forgiveness. We congratulate these students for this milestone of their Catholic journey. 

St Martin de Porres Feast Day

Tomorrow our school will be celebrating St Martin de Porres feast day. This day is usually celebrated on November 3rd. Born in Lima, Peru, in 1579, Martin's life was a testament to compassion, service, and unwavering faith.

Despite facing adversity due to his mixed-race heritage, Martin dedicated his life to serving the poor and the sick. He was a skilled barber and doctor, using his talents to heal and comfort those in need. As a Dominican friar, he embodied humility, obedience, and a joyful spirit.

Saint Martin's legacy inspires us to live by our school motto, "Love and Service to All." His example encourages us to embrace diversity, practice kindness, and strive for justice.

Tomorrow November 1st we will be having a prayer service at 9:00 AM in the Church led by our 5/6S students. All families are invited to attend. 

All Saints Day

All Saints' Day, a special day for Catholics, is celebrated annually on November 1st. On this day, we honor all the saints of the Church, both known and unknown. While many saints have their own individual feast days throughout the year, All Saints' Day is a time to remember and celebrate them all together.

  All Souls Day

All Souls' Day, celebrated on November 2nd, is a day to remember and pray for those who have passed away.

It's a time to reflect on the lives of loved ones and offer prayers for their eternal rest. While this day holds special significance for many, it's also an opportunity to teach children about the importance of remembering and honoring those who have gone before us.
