Prep Family Mass
It was a lovely celebration of community at the Prep Family Mass on Saturday evening. It was great to see such a full Church! The students who did reading or roles were outstanding. Thank you to Father Ian for leading Mass and to Mrs Fiona Byrne, Miss Tilly Ferrari for all their hard work preparing the students.
The P&F reps for Prep ran a brilliant cake stall, raising around $700 for the Prep classrooms. What a brilliant effort, thank you to everyone who supported this..

Gospel Reading
Simon Peter acknowledges Jesus as the Christ and is given the key to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Family Connection
Today’s Gospel reminds us that the Church is built on the foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. Peter announces the core of our faith, that Jesus is God’s only Son. The family, as the domestic church, has this same faith as its foundation.
As you gather together as a family, talk about people whose faith has helped you to be a member of the Church and talk about what you have learned from leaders in our Church today. Read together today’s Gospel, Matthew 16:13-20. Talk about what you know about Peter and his importance to the early Christian community. Talk about what we can learn from Peter and his profession of faith about Jesus. Conclude in prayer together by praying today’s Psalm or an Act of Faith.
