Feast Day 2025
Today, we celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of the Southern Cross with a procession around the school and church block, followed by Mass. It was wonderful to see some of our families join us for this celebration also. Our students were incredibly reverent throughout.
After the break, we had lots of fun participating in a variety of games and activities run by Kaboom Kids.
Thank you to all of the students and staff who participated in a variety of ways, both in the setting up, planning and running of the day.
November - Month of Remembrance
November is traditionally a month of remembrance within the Catholic Church. This is due to the Feast of All Souls which occurs of 2nd November. We are called to keep in our prayers all those who have passed away, especially those within the previous 12 months. Many churches and other places, such as schools, have a Book of Remembrance available during the month for people to add the names of loved ones. Through this act, we rmember them, and also invite everyone else to also pray for the repose of their souls.
Once again, we will have our Book of Remembrance in the front office foyer for you to add the names of loved ones who have returned to our Heavenly Father. As a school and faith community, we will keep all those names in our prayers throghout the month.
Community Masses in 2025
This Sunday we will have Community Mass again. We have had a great turn out throughout this year, and are noticing many new faces from the wider Manor Lakes/Wyndham Vale community joining us.
We encourage you to spread the word of our Community Masses and invite as many family, friends, neighbours and others to these celebrations.
Follow and like the Wyndham Vale Catholic Community Facebook page to get updates and further information about Community Masses and other events.
