Term 4 Family Mass

Saturday 25th October 2025

Thank you to all the families who joined us for our final Family Mass for 2025. A joyous occasion where we also celebrated the students preparing to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Let us prayer for them over the next few weeks as they commence their Formation Sessions in preparation for receiving the Sacrament for the first time.

Kindy and the Rosary

In Week 2, I was privileged to spend some time with Kindergarten where I taught them about the Rosary and how we pray it. All the students made their very own finger Rosary and completed a colour in sheet about the Rosary. Thanks to the parents who joined us. We hope you too learnt something new about 

the Rosary.
