Faith Matters at 

St Francis Xavier School

Dear St Francis Xavier Families,

Congratulations to six of our Year 4 students who received the Sacrament of Reconciliation last Wednesday evening.  My sincere thanks to the families who supported their children through the expectations and process required for this sacrament.

As always, our Year 3/4 teachers Mr Brendan and Miss Debbie ensured the students were well prepared for the evening and helped the children learn about the teachings of Jesus and the practise of being forgiven and in turn forgiving others. 

Thank you also to Fr Jude and Fr Micheal who facilitated the evening in a spirit of reverence and joyful understanding. It was great to see several of our SFX staff present to support the  students who will prepare for the Sacrament of Eucharist next term.

Project Compassion

Thank you to everyone who has donated coins to our Project Compassion Appeal. The drive will finish at the end of Week 2 next term.

Baptism For School Aged Children

Responsibility for the preparation of school aged students for the Sacrament of Baptism will now be managed by the parish. If you have a child who is at our school and would like them to be baptised, please contact the Parish Office for an enrolment form 9783 3484. Baptism preparation will involve some preparation sessions for the children and their parents/carers.  

Mothers' Day Morning

All families should have received an invitation to our Mothers' Day Morning which is on May 5th.  Please respond by Friday 24th April to let us know if you will be attending.

Holy Week Prayer Service

Thank you to those of you who were able to join us for the Holy Week Prayer Service and Showcase of Learning this afternoon. It is always encouraging for the staff and children to see families supporting the teaching and learning at our school.  We are greatly appreciative of your positive comments acknowledging  all that we are working to achieve.

Wishing you all a joyous and safe Easter.
